For me it's sorting brass. Not sorting headstamps, which I do on occasion after brass has been cleaned, but sorting before cleaning after coming home from the range.
I have tried putting my fired brass in the boxes that I keep loaded ammo in, but it makes a mess in the box. I have thrown them loose into my range bag, and that was pretty stupid (and messy). Now I take a gallon ziploc bag and throw any brass I fire or find and throw it in that. When it's about 1/2 - 3/4 full, I sit down and sort it so it can be cleaned. And the inside of the bag is filthy, which means my hands get filthy. I could wear gloves, but I usually don't, and I always wash my hands well afterwards. I could also sort after every range trip, but I almost always pick up multiple calibers so that wouldn't really make a difference. I suppose I could take multiple bags for the brass, but that seems like it would just be a huge PITA, since sometimes I only find my fired brass (the brass chickens have already scoured the range) and other times I find fifteen or even twenty different types of brass.
I enjoy just about everything else when it comes to reloading. I always dread trimming brass, but once I start I find it relaxing and somewhat enjoyable.
So, what do you all dislike about reloading?
