What else is very similar to reloading?

[Blockfort]

I reload, and I make espresso (among many other hobbies). I found they are quite similar (I even use the same scale). What other activities are similar to reloading? precision, experimentation, fine tuning, etc etc...

While it does not use the same equipment, some electric guitar players are gear heads. Continually changing pickups, amplifiers, strings, speakers, effects pedals and even vacuum tubes looking for that tone that is magic to their ears.

Sort of reminds me of target shooters, modifying their firearms, bullets, powder, primers, OAL etc, looking for that magic load that cuts the magic one hole group in the target.

Well, with all of that and the extreme danger levels requiring full attention and concentration, or the life altering or life ending consequences for not doing so, I'd have to say conversing with me wife!!

to me, upgrading components is a little more like upgrading rifle parts. perhaps if some guitar players wound their own strings or something. but yes, there is some similarity.

Espresso is like reloading? Do you resize your cup after using it?
