does anyone else wear gloves while reloading? i can use a pair and they last me about a month or two and then they split. i use them every weekend for about 2-3 hours, sometimes i reload on sunday so thats twice that.. |
| I do I use these link they are extra thick have diamond texture and last longer then any other nitrile gloves I wear I also use these every day at work as a automotive tech and hate to use anything else . they are also on prime and slightly cheaper then the ones you linked . fyi some say the run a bit small so may want to go up a size |

Same here. Never use gloves. Quoted:

Never used them, don't see the point. Just don't lick your fingers while loading. Same here. Never use gloves. No, I'm OCD enough as it is. Never saw a need. Exterior exposure of cases and bullets to environmental factors far outweighs any benefit from not touching components. Tactile feel is reduced with even the thinnest gloves. |

I typically use "wasted" nitrile gloves from work. Pull ONE glove out of the box and a wad or 10-12 falls on the floor...I ain't using them for contact with patients, but I won't throw them away either. More often it's one or two that stick together and the extras go in a pocket. Over a week, I wind up with 8 or more "wasted" gloves.
I wear gloves when handling dirty brass because my hands get extra dirty, and I don't want to have to spend 10 minutes washing my hands just to get a drink of water. I also wear gloves when handling bullets, pretty much out of habit. Check out the Army Marksmanship Unit's videos; they wear gloves for each and every step of the loading process. |
| I usually wear nitrile gloves while reloading, specifically during brass prep, and most especially when resizing rifle since I use my finger tips to apply Imperial Die Wax. Either way, I wash my hands afterwards, but it saves me the time of having to really scrub my hands to clean the gunk off my finger tips. |

I use mechanics gloves sometimes to hold the case when trimming, chamfering, etc. helps to hold the case. Referring to leather palm type, not nitrile kind. this is the only time i wear gloves. mostly cause getting the "black" off my fingers takes a good amount of scrubbing. that and the gloves makes my hand not fatigue as quickly. any other process i dont wear gloves. |

After my brass has been tumble cleaned I never touch it again with bare fingers. Salt and oils will tarnish the brass after long term storage. I use surgical style gloves when priming, charging and seating bullets. I usually dry tumble after loading so I only wear a glove to box ammo |
