I feel your statement is inappropriate as the environment of the reloading bench should never, ever fit that description. In addition, there is some evidence "suggesting that music in the OR has a disruptive effect on novice surgeons." http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/875326
You are free to do as you wish while you reload. But it's possible to become somewhat absorbed by the choice of music and it's my fervent belief a reloader - especially a novice one - should be absorbed only by the process of reloading. And nothing else. YMMV
When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind. [Lord Kelvin]
