Definately for me it's Tru-Oil. I've just done it again finishing a stock...look around and I've knocked the bloody pot over and it's all over the bench/table. I can't remember how many bottles I've knocked over like this!

Is it me or are there other fumblers just like me?

Lead shot, by far from reloading. The floor of my shop feels like a roller bearing factory.

With me it's money. I'm constantly dropping vast amounts into gun dealers hands. Afterwards I can't recall where it went, usually around the times we're paying the monthly bills and my wife is looking at me, waiting for an answer to some question I've blocked out.

I seem to have the same problem that Joe does. I was loading up some 16 ga ammo earlier this morning, and for a brief moment, thought about sweeping up the spilled shot on the floor!

Coffee. Used to be shot, many years ago, when I loaded in my office in my home. It would get down in my carpet and, when the lovely Ms. Jean would go over it with the vacuum cleaner all h--- would break loose. Got me my own doghouse now to load in.

My wife never did like vacuuming up pistol primers, especially live ones

By volume - either powder solvents.....or maybe it's Win 296 - stuff gets everywhere. Kinda close.

By mass - shot, definitely, shot.

probably wine. Please pass the......clink. Granite countertops are hell on glasses too!

Regerds, Mal

The beans. Shot would be an easy second.

For a minute I thought I was on Twitter....

For me it is shot. I've upgraded to spilling tungsten shot regularly. This calls for protracted time on my knees chasing individual shot down.

Ballistix999,

Your bench must look really nice with all those coats of tru-oil. :-)

I'm with Joe, If you reload much at all, You'll have shot rolling everywhere at some time.

I have my reloaders mounted on cookie sheets which have a 1/2" lip on them. Keeps the shot confined to the desk top

The expansion joints in my driveway are filled from shot spilled
in the garage.....

...the beans.

After all the years of being with my wife, I can hardly keep any secrets anymore. I usually pay a price for it. But it's all good in the end.

I always spill the last of whatever I need, right at that MOMENT.

Good for you. Just imagine it would be poison.
I feel I'm bad. I never spill anything good besides cigar trash and rabbish according to my wife

I specialize in dropping tiny sight/scope mount plug screws. Then, when I use my heavy magnet to find them, I get every filing and chip I ever knocked off a piece of iron or steel, plus enough paper clips to start a new office, but not THE screw.... If I'm lucky, I find the screw I lost the last time I mounted a scope, but of course that's another size!

I may soon be stuck with shooting only .22s because all my scopes are missing a screw or so, and may not hold against the recoil of the .361 SuperiorMag! (Actually the only magnum rifle I own is a .22WRM. But the other barrel IS chambered for the awesome 3" mag .410!).

I find I often spill the fourth or fifth wee dram of the evening if I'm not careful........or is it the sixth?

Gentlemen:
For some odd reason, I find this thread especially entertaining! And I can concur with many.

However, the incisive observation of Bob Blair tops them all... we both suffer the same malady. Only mine also includes my last bottle of Hoppe's... along with an unimaginable amount of No. 8 shot.

A toast to ye all!

Best, Kensal

I seem to spill or drop anything that I am afraid that I will spill or drop. This can happen anytime and anywhere. If I concern myself with not spilling it, I will.
