That's what I do Patrick I may have allot of powder out but there is only one powder on the bench at any one time the rest are on the floor and are locked back up when I have finished loading for the day, when I am changing powders I clear the bench of the just used powder container put it on the floor and grab the next one and up on the bench it goes for the rifle it is used in I do not even leave empty containers of the same powder on the bench if that happens straight in the bin with the empty grab a freshy. And another thing I do not do is drink alcohol when reloading a sure recipe for disaster......
