    I only load for the .223 now although I still have all the gear for my old 7.62x39 even though I no longer have a rifle for it.

    But I've always had a fascination with smaller rounds and ultimately I'd love to have the rifles/shotgun and be able to load for .22Hornet and a .410, maybe something like a .17Hornady Hornet.
    And of course I need something like a .30-06 but for now the .223 just works for everything on the farm from rabbits to hogs to deer
    There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

    It's amazing how many here shoot and reload so many different calibers. I am definitely over 15 calibers, both handgun and rifle, glad to know I am not alone.

    Being retired is a big plus, then take half a dozen plus rifles, shotguns and pistols when you go to the range helps.

    Not unusual to take 45+ minutes to get the truck loaded/ unloaded on a range day.

    Too many ! Ask my wife.

    Range trips can take awhile to plan, and to load up the truck to go there, and then I can easily spend the whole day if I have time to do so.

    Hey I still have a few weapons that have yet to be fired. Among these is a commercial 8 MM Mauser rifle and a Ruger Blackhawk in 327 Fed Magnum. I also have a Ruger BH in 30 Carbine that I would like to compare to the 327 Fed for giggles. I also have a pair of Enfields that deserve to have a decent loading made up for and fired as my first efforts keyholed badly with cast. I have some shooting to do.

    Currently casting, reloading and shooting: 223 Rem, 6.5x55 Sweede, 30 Carbine, 30-06 Springfield, 30-30 WCF, 303 Brit., 7.62x39, 7.92x57 Mauser, .32 Long, 32 H&R Mag, 327 Fed Mag, 380 ACP. 9x19, 38 Spcl, 357 Mag, 38-55 Win, 41 Mag, 44 Spcl., 44 Mag, 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 454 Casull, 457 RB for ROA and 50-90 Sharps.

    38 that I currently load for, if you count the six shotgun gauges.
    Only left handed guns are interesting!

    Maybe you should create another poll comparing age to # of calibers loaded for.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    I load for everything I own (except 22), and a few I no longer have or are for family. I have dies for some I intended to own, but never obtained.
    Information not shared. is wasted.

    Lots ... and I just added a new one to the list. Bought a 9x57mm Mauser sporter on an online auction last week ... LOL ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
