Are you a sitter or stander when reloading?

[Heavy Barrel]

Do you prefer to sit or stand when reloading, if you prefer to sit what furniture do you recommend?

 

[xphunter]

I do both, but not at the same time

 

[NYDAN]

I sit when I reload both shotgun shells and rifle cartridges. I prefer a height adjustable secretary's chair with casters but without arm rests.

I do like Ernie because I want to be like him someday.

Same here. I have a nice stool when I do sit.

 

[Dr. Vette]

Stand.

I have a height-adjustable table, but I've never changed the height once I moved it up.
To move from scale to press to rack of cartridges, I have to go side to side a bit, and I couldn't do that standing.

When I built myself a new set of benches in 2016 things such as age and other unpredictable events weren’t factored in, at the time standing for extended periods of time didn’t phase me.

Fast forward to 2026, I now have to live with the results of a left navicular fracture on two separate occasions and a fused ankle on the right, standing for extended periods of time is almost unbearable now.

Tried cheating and using a two foot step ladder and a foam cushion I had but after about thirty minutes it seems like I’m sitting on a pin cushion.

my bench is at the right height for standing and also for sitting as i use an adjustable barstool. if i'm single staging then most likely i'll sit, but using the 550 i'll stand

There is a poll at the top Make sure to submit your vote.

I do both. My bench top is countertop height and I’ve got a nice stool that I use when sitting.

I mostly stand but I do have a tall bar stool available if I get sick of standing.

 

[RL338]

I use a plain old barstool.
