    I currently reload 5 different calibers. I shoot more cartridges than 5 but the barrels' grooves are only 5 different diameters.

    .204
    .224
    .284
    ~.357
    .510

    Load lots of calibers, both rifle and pistol. No shotguns.
    Only have a dozen or so molds for center fire and several for black powder.
    Still looking for sabots for the 338 win mag to shoot cast 30 cal. Found one listed on the web but said "unavailable"... so guess they quit making them. Maybe a 3D printer if the plastic will hold up to the heat.

    All the rifle cals. from .22 up to .410, less the .348..
    Then skip up to .458..

    Knowing what I know today I would own just a few..

    .223 (fast twist) for fun and practice..
    22 Creed (fast twist)
    6mm Creed (fast twist)
    6.5X55
    .308
    And my 9.3X74 for cast both subsonic and super sonic..

    Recently added .32acp to the list with the purchase of a Beretta Model 81 Cheetah.

    Added a .32 factory crimp die which solved the problem of some of my .32sw longs not wanting to chamber.
    Ran the .32 auto's through it as well and have had zero problems.
    I'm really liking the little beretta.

    RSO noted that the factory ammo was printing low and 2 inches to the right. Where my own cast/loaded ammo was hitting the bull dead on.

    He looked at me, asked if I had any clue why? I said yeah, I made these, lubed em, loaded em, inspected them. They go where I want them to go. Call it the "Force" if you like. But other than that I can't explain it. They know what I want and they give it to me. He was looking at me kinda strange as I left.

    That is the thing with reloading you get the boolit to where you want it better then with the factory rounds. To me factory rounds just give you a base at times to go with.

    Well you said calibers. But, I was wondering if you meant cartridges.

    If you mean calibers; 177,224,6mm,257,6.5mm,277,7mm,308,313,8mm,327,338, 358,375,416,429,451,458,50,54 - maybe one or two more??

    Voted 15+ but did not include a couple that I have dies for and no gun. I did not include duplicate die sets. Several of my die sets for revolvers are duplicates acquired for the steel sizer. Some custom revolvers have tight chambers and I hope the steel size dies don't overwork the brass.

    Since this thread started 3 years ago I've added 4 calibers to my reloading (and 4 guns ). I'm up to 14 calibers, 7 of which are cast boolits loaded exclusively...

    When I counted I forgot shot shells. I originally said 14 but with the scatter guns it should have been 15+.

    I had no idea how many sets of dies I had until my wife came out in the loading room the other day and counted my dies.
    There were right at 50 sets.
    I don`t have guns for all of them but I do for most.
    I can`t seem to get rid of dies just because I don`t have a gun for them...dale

    I am finding that it takes longer to clean them when all are taken out at once then to load for them on my progressive press.
