Reloading and music

[Recycled bullet]

I'm expanding 357 magnum case mouths with the noe m style 358 bushing in my hand press while listening to phonk music, subwoofers parked beside the reloading bench =) THE STACKIN CHIPS SAGA | Project Pat Rare Phonk Tribute Tape... and ryan celcius/trappin in japan.

Music and dancing makes case prep less tedious. There... done...500 ish starline 357 magnum cases sitting in that card board box https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240227/1f6d0e5f7d5d387559e1a2b8a950ea17.jpg

Nice looking brass!

As for the music? Never heard of em'. I'm 70 and 'may' go take a listen over on Ytube. My shop is about 10X15, well insulated, AC & Heat. My jam box is 300 Watt's with a remote, speakers mounted up high and has a remote with it. It'll play from a disc, or memory stick. 16 Gigs of MP3 files, is a whole lotta shakin' goin' on. For 40+ years, magnums and music were my passion, still are I reckon. My tastes vary when it comes to music, zero rap/hip hop though.

Murphy

P.S. I checked out the music group you suggested. Enjoy your jam Bro, I just can't hang with that genre. :)

[M-Tecs]

I mostly load on Dillon 650's or 1050's. I want to hear any anomalies in the reloading process so no music for me when running progressives. For casting, trimming or annealing it's generally 60's and 70's rock.

[Beast of Burden]

I usually listen to talk radio, country or a ball game while loading. I know some say you should not do anything while reloading, but I need some background noise. Not a fan of phonk, but nice 357 mag brass!

[Gtrubicon]

Tool, slipknot, guns and roses, ozzy, Metallica, perfect circle and lots more just like them on my speakers when I’m in the shop. It helps my brain to focus.

[beemer]

Patsy Cline, Otis Redding along those lines. There is a blues program on one of the local stations I might catch. Occasionally something else.

[cwtebay]

My parents both have masters in music. I am an EXTREME disappointment to them because I chose science, but my tastes run from Amadeus to Amity Affliction and every point in between. My father finally acknowledged that while I hold no musical talent; I do have good taste in music.
I listen to mostly folk music while reloading.

I always like to have something going in the background. Like many others I'm sure, it helps take my focus off of the tinnitus/ringing.

No, music or any other distractions while reloading for me with my Dillon 550, if something sounds different you might have a problem.

For me the music died after the 1970's.

[Texas by God]

Dave Brubeck to Johnny Cash.
Meatloaf to Lucas Nelson.
Aretha Franklin to Led Zeppelin.
Whatever I’m in the mood for- but I like background music!

Like some of you I also enjoy some background music while reloading. I will say as some others have stated it depends on which process I’m involved with. If I’m really focused on something new probably no music. My preference leans towards old country music and some red dirt music. I like to shut the door, turn the phone off and close out as much distraction as possible. I have always liked music playing when I work or play, for me it has a calming effect.

[dale2242]

Classic country for this old redneck.

[Recycled bullet]

Hey guys thanks for the responses and sharing what yall think and listenin to, I got this big ole box of freshly expanded 357s that need priming so I think I'm gonna test drive all the music names yall share, I'll try and share my thoughts about it this weekend when I can make a gallon of black rifle coffee and reload for a couple hours. :)

Another thing I like listening when reloading and batching case prep to is heavy metal without vocals. My favorite is a channel called "Metal Guitar Stuff" on YouTube, I think he may be a guitar instructor or trainer. I like the dragon mix and the reverb one. The drums make me happy. Other instrumental metal that's interesting is pelican and red sparrowes.

what the **** is phonk?

[Frosty Boolit]

Classical for me. A few symphonies or concertos and I'd better stop in the house to see what is going on the the zoo.

[Recycled bullet]

Talk radio and county music is good too

[Recycled bullet]

what the **** is phonk?Here is a screen shot of the Wikipedia page on phonk.

"A sub genre of hip hop and trap music directly inspired by 90s Memphis rap."

I like the rhythmic beats and bass and the sound samples especially brass instruments and snippets from movies. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240228/934bdd8a948de721008bfd0b83763398.jpg

[Finster101]

Well "phonk" sounds like something to be avoided at all costs to me. JMO.

[FISH4BUGS]

Quiet classical when reloading. I agree that you want to hear and feel the Dillon 550 to make sure all is well.
Usually a ball game (GO CELTICS!) or talk when doing case prep.

[Slugster]

Classical music for me. Also enjoy 'Dark Cello' (youtube) music as it just seems to fade into the background and allows me to really concentrate on the task at hand. I stopped listening to talk radio when Rush died. Was distraught when G Gordon Liddy went off the air.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Of all the Trap shoots I've ever been at, they never played any music.
.
Also, thanks for the Wiki snippet, the last thing I want, is to have phonk in my google algorithm, if I were to search it myself.

[Recycled bullet]

You should be regularly clearing cookies and browsing history anyways. This mix is much better much jazzier much more brass different DJ and samples for the phonk. ＴＨＥ ＥＮＤ ＯＦ ＵＮＤＥＲＧＲＯＵＮＤ | PHONK FRIDAY Season 7 Ep. 7 | Ponsuda | Live DJ Set

Plus the bass is better

[Shawlerbrook]

Country, classic rock, sports or an intelligent talk radio host definitely make tasks like reloading, painting, etc. more enjoyable.

[Electrod47]

Nothing but 'Flight Of The Valkyries' for me. I keep it on a loop when reloading...........

[redhawk0]

Now...if you said Funk (1970's)....I'm there. Phonk just isn't gonna cut it for this old dog.

Nice Brass...case prep and music go together...I prefer silence when I'm actually loading power/boolits though...I need to concentrate.

[Rapier]

I have no sound system in my shop/reloading room at all. Very much on purpose.
I have a Bose amp and speaker system in my truck and a 700 watt Yamaha amp that runs my home theater system with Boston Acustic speakers.
Musc is Good, from Abba to Zz Top, all types, Hip Hop is not good by a class, offensive and garbage. I threw a guy off my boat 9 miles out, told him to shut that crap off, didn't, So I picked him up over my head and threw him over board. Came back in 30 minutes, he turned it off.

[Recycled bullet]

I like reloading with 70s funk, sounds good too with the subwoofer, and sometimes blue grass and celtic music too.

[Wheelguns 1961]

I listen to all kinds of classic rock and country, but for reloading, it is usually Hank jr or Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[greybuff]

From Hank to Hendrix and Vivaldi, when I'm sitting in front of one of my Hollywood Gun Shop presses I always have music on. I'm usually out there every morning waiting on the better half to get up working on processing or loading one of the many calibers we shoot. I really like "vintage" presses and music, they don't make stuff like that anymore.

[Winger Ed.]

I have a radio going in the background out in the shop.
It's never too loud to drown out any other sounds or be a distraction.

I switch between the classic rock from the 60-70s I grew up with, or the classical station that
plays the 17th century orchestra stuff like Bach, Beethoven, and their peers.

[MT Gianni]

Audio books from the library. Crime podcast or pandora. I get bored too quickly and have to change stations.

[pworley1]

I have a radio in my wood working shop, another in the metal working shop, and another in the reloading shop. They are all tuned to the same Classic Country station and they are never turned off.

[Recycled bullet]

I'm cooking onions with ground beef and playing The Best of Piano. Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Bach. Classical Music for Studying and Relaxation softly in the background.

Fffwwwooop!!

The gas bottle sputtered its last.
As i change it I can feel the humid warmth of this first spring rain. Relit, the turkey fryer quickly heats the large cast iron skillet.
Guess I'm not powder coating bullets tonight. :)

I love cooking on the patio.

*edit. I made a better picture of the fire

[DocSavage]

Sirius xm tuned to 50s,60s or old time radio depending on my mood.

[Tracy]

I've been listening to Bob Seger quite a bit while reloading. Occasionally some Kansas or King Crimson. I like a pretty wide variety of music, but some just works better than others as background music for reloading.

[Skipper]

If you really want to crank 'em out, try Mountain:

[SavageKustoms]

No matter what I'm doing, there's a radio doing it's thing. I need background noise to keep myself focused. Old country usually gets it done. There's two cents.

[rbuck351]

When reloading, I focus on reloading and nothing else. I'm good with silence.

[farmbif]

as far as music I really like Jeff beck but thoughougly enjoyed a 1971 BBC broadcast of Faces with rod Stewart and Ronnie wood and the 40th anniversary party for Atlantic records with rare appearance of led zeppelin with first appearance of Jason Bonham with the group last night.
when reloading all I hear is the reloading press and the sound of river water going over rocks nearby

[Finster101]

I haven't had silence since 1980. It's usually a test tone but sometimes fades to crickets. Always there though.

[lightman]

I have one of those rubber covered speaker things (blue tooth?) that connects with my phone. I listen mostly to older Country and what we used to call Easy Listening.

[Daver7]

Music helps me focus. Tommy Emmanuel, Carlos Santana, Joe Bonamassa.

[Frosty Boolit]

Dave Mathew’s Band; Lie in Our Graves

Especially central park concert or live in canandaiagua NY

[perotter]

I've never listened to music while reloading or doing anything else that is important.

FWIW. At an electronic manufacture I worked at once where I examined the quality data, when they banned radios, etc and only let workers use headphones, etc for music the error rate dropped arouncd 0.95%. Several months later they banned those also and the error rate dropped a farther 0.5%. The final total worker/machine error rate of 0.65%.

Of course value of computer boards for mid-range and mainframes is much higher than ammo.

[Recycled bullet]

Snapping gas checks on and sizing hitek coated mp blackout bullets. I cast them last spring from Lyman 2 bullet metal.

The metal is instrumental(without vocals). It's rhythmic and mechanical and pairs well for me with my batch processing reloading brass prep.

The quart freezer bag is stuffed full of FC 308 brass. Trimmed and polished, the only thing left is expand the necks and prime.

The other bag has maybe 150x300 blk cases already primed and expanded. They need only powder, seat bullet, crimp, shoot gun. That big pistol is needing more shooting soon.

There is that big box of 357's to make, too.
I can use the same volume with my powder measure, same powder charge of H110 for reloading supersonic 300 Blackout and 357 Magnum or use a smaller volume of Bullseye and make subsonics for both cartridges.

Remember, only one can of powder at a time!!!


Good thing my guns agree with me on the radio. Other wise I'd have to throw them in the sea :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240302/d51af4e3dc8c91131f168c874742a407.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240302/00feb76d71d7e52ef4e7c20a66caec06.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240302/d9030fd49bd65413cb16b68a708eb7e3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240302/122cd6fe695d147d54db835fc4ec5e4b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240302/ec85625a06d568a08737f1c2ed124096.jpg

Reloading goes much better for me with the radio tuned to the local Classic Rock station.

[MT Gianni]

I bought 1700 lbs of ww and 150 lbs of Lino from a now banned member here in 1999. He had a casting business and listened to a very loud ticking clock to help hum keep a rhythm.

[Tripplebeards]

I unfortunately always turn on the TV since it’s close and get distracted, which is not good!

If I had to pick a song while I’m reloading, it would be rage against the machine. You ain’t got no problems with a pocket full of shells….
