I prime, charge and bullet seat as a continuous sub-grouped process. Normally 50 or 100 at a time. I seat and crimp in separate steps, so I may take a break between bullet seating and crimping, but they stay on the bench in the loading blocks until they are crimped. Powder is never left open to the air. Priming is never done with powder out on the bench, and I only prime as many as I will charge and seat bullets. Primers are never left in the open air either, and all the primes removed from their packaging are seated into cases.
Powder is always one container only on the bench at a time, and never leave the powder measure with powder in it. If I leave the bench it goes back into its original container, because I am done with that loading session.
Decapping, tumbling, sizing, flare/bell may be done in large batches, then stored in labeled containers.
I only have single stage presses, so I never do large batches of prime, charge and seat.
