I've never thought about it but, I don't like dirty hands so I guess I'm already doing it. I don't reload so that takes that extra aspect out.

I do wear gloves moving the lead weights around for the racecar though. I still think it's dumb that that's still the go to for weights where we race.

Lol no but people will reload their spent casings. It's still expensive but less so. That's about the extent of my knowledge on it.
