Enjoying a cup of coffee while handloading !!

[405grain]

Two things: First "engineers coffee". That's coffee with the aspirin already in it. (to be used only when coming up with last minute solutions to impossible problems)
Second coffee rule: A properly proportioned coffee mug should be able to hold half a pot of coffee.

Exactly......

Unless you inhale or ingest the lead residue off your fingers you won't get lead poisoning from handling cast bullets when reloading them or from handling the cartridges after loading.

After I read about the hazards of lead ingestion, I quit lickin' my grubby fingers whilst hand loading and related activities and I figure I am off the hook now.

I tried drinking something while loading but had to stop. I would get busy and the coffee got cold and the beer got warm!

Me too. I then forget the cup and find it days later when I go back to load the next time.

Just last night I had coffee while reloading - knocked over the cup all over the table and into a tray full of unprimed brass. So...no irreversible damage, just a big mess.

I judge the size of my coffee mug using my fist. If I can get my fist in it, it's big enough.
