    I keep hoping to add a 45 lc carbine & Blackhawk. Then, to save money, I'd have to reload for them.

    Sadly, my wife has figured out that my reloading hobby never actually saves money but only lets me go to the range more. 😂

    22 Rim Fire. That's it. Nothing else SO FAR. Been developing the tools and process to reload 22lr for over 3 years. One more tweak and I will be able to manufacture match grade cartridges.

    I bought my wife a Henry 45colt for her birthday , installed a Ranger Point Peep sight on it
    She had pretty much already took over my Bird's Head 45colt New Vaquero lol ........ trying to keep enough 45's loaded is now the problem, so much so that she has started thinking i need a progressive loader ........ i was getting close to it until this whole virus thing and she has been out of work rrrrhh!!!

    I load the following calibers:

    20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 375, 40, 41, 416, 44, 452, 458, 470/80, 50

    I have loaded the following cartridges:
    .204 Ruger 22 Hornet 221 Fireball
    .222 Remington 220 Swift 22-250
    .223 .243 .257 Roberts
    260 Remington 6.5x54 6.5x55
    6.5 Carcano 6.5x53R 7x57 Mauser
    275 Rigby 30 carbine 30-06
    30 Remington 30-30 30-40 Krag 300 Savage
    300 H&H 375 H&H
    .308 Win .303 British 7.62x39
    7.62x54r 32 win spec 8x60s
    8x57 Mauser 8x50r 8x56r
    318 Westley Richards .338 Win Mag 35 Rem
    350 Rigby Magnum 38-55 .375 Flanged 2 1/2" Nitro Express
    9.3x74R 400/350 Nitro Express 416 Rigby
    450/400 NE 450 Nitro Express 45/70
    450 Bushmaster 470 Nitro Express 50/70

    Pistol:
    45 acp 38 special .357 mag
    380/200 44 special 44 mag
    45 Colt .45 Schofield 7.62 Nagant
    41 Magnum 480 Ruger. 40 S&W

    Shotgun:
    12, 16, 20, 28, 410

    Only ones I don't anticipate reloading again are the 260 Remington, 7.62x54r(but looking for brass--makes great 8x50r), 45 Schofield, 40 S&W, and the 338 Win Mag.

    I made the list up because at both clubs I belong to the brass is recycled and the cash goes back into range improvements. I handle it at one club, a buddy handles it at the second club. He asked for a list of what I load so he could sort out stuff that I could use.

    He freaked when I handed him the list, I told him to just save me the BIG stuff and with a rim--if it made him look and ask if it could be used on a brontosaurus, I could probably use it.

    The list I gave him actually has more stuff on it--conversion fodder for other things, for example, 300 Weatherby that makes very nice 300 H&H. When I do those I'm glad the press is bolted to two 1/2" thick steel plates that sandwich the bench top that is tied into the frame of the building. Gotta have my Wheaties before I do many of them.

    Favorite 3? The Hornet, first centerfire I got serious about reloading, next the 470 Nitro, just because everything about it's almost cartoonish in scale in comparison to the Hornet. I've taken a loaded round to the club, sat it on the table with a 2lr next to it just for the reactions.

    More than a few thought the 470 was a gag cartridge.

    Third most favorite is pretty much all the rest, except the 416 Rigby, I think that has given me more grief that the rest combined with chambering/feeding issues. Still don't have it completely sorted out yet. There is a couple of jacketed bullets that are going to Accurate tomorrow to see if they can be duplicated in lead to fix the feeding problem. Nothing a custom boolit mold won't solve.

    Above was my list from last fall, since I've added 9mm.

    Waiting on a boolit mold, soon to add the 9 Makarov.

    I believe I am at 17 currently. I'm trying not to add more, but its a futile endeavor. Would like to get into 10mm, and maybe .50 AE.

    have to update, things changed a little since starting to cast, made some new friends at the range, and they have rehomed some of their excess to my locker, list updates since 2017.

    This is an open ended poll, a year from now if you go on an archeological dig you'll find it and can add to what you have here now, I've updated mine occasionally as I've taken on a new project.

    9 Makarov mold arrived yesterday, mold cleaned, smoked and used. 10 rounds loaded for the Makarov for testing today.

    Not used to little stubby boolits. Probably should have been loading this years ago when the fingers had a little more dexterity in them.

    Next coming off the "never reloaded one of those" list is going to be the 400/360. .366 dia and 290+ grains, I'll be able to hang on to those

    How many now or how many have I ever loaded for? Today I can load for 7, 4 pistol and 3 rifle. Sold off all the other stuff years ago. At one time I think it was over 20.
