    POLL ... How many different Calibers do you load for?

    "I don't know" and "to many" come to mind. I do know it would be easier to count the dies then the guns. I don't know how many of them I own either.

    16...that I shoot (somewhat) regularly but I've also got three or four additional die sets, trimmers, etc. for calibers that (1) I no longer own a gun chambered for that round or (2) I keep in case that I acquire a gun in that caliber.

    40 plus a couple. Most of which haven't seen the light of day in 80 years or more. Very little common stuff.

    with die sets for a few more that went down the road or haven't been bought yet.
    A few have multiple rifles per cartridge, some get used more than others.

    Pretty much what Larry said. Add 4mm, .220, .221, .223, .51, the other two common gauges; delete .31, .32, .46.

    I do not know how many dies sets, or moulds I have. I do know when the bullet supply is running low.

    These are all Calibers that I have at least one gun Chambered for. That's 33, but my fingers said 34. So I probably missed at least 1 or 2. But I only have 10 fingers & 10 toes (I'm not wearing shoes right now). So anything past 20 is a mystery.

    I thinned things down over the past dozen years, sold off guns/calibers I just didn't shoot anymore. About 15 of them.

    I HATE auto-correct

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

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

    Maybe, as part of the Poll, I shoulda asked...which three do you enjoy loading the most?

    3-4 rifle calibers I reload regularly; .223/5.56, 7.62x51/.308, .30-06 and .45-70. Then another 1/2 dozen or so that I reload a 100 or so every once in a while.

    Handguns about the same, about 4-5 that I reload 1000+ every few years, then reload as I shoot them off; .38 Spc/.357 Mag, .44 SPC, .45 ACP, .45 Colt. Then another 1/2 dozen I buy 1k+ cases, usually Starline, and load 2-300 at a time.

    All told it is somewhere in the 25-30 range that I keep components in stock, a few others that I have dies for but ammo is so cheap I don't bother reloading.

    I counted 15 or so. My favorite right now is the 30-30. Such a versatile cartridge with cast boolits from under 100gr to over 200gr.
    A ton of powders fit the bill. Lots to choose from with a levergun and a bolt gun.

    I enjoy loading .220 Swift the most, followed by .45 Colt and 30-30.

    Well...for pistols, right now...my 'favoriteiest' is the .45ACP and the close second to that is the .45Colt.
    I like shooting them and the components for the reloads don't slip or jump out of my old broke up hands.

    Rifle...right now is the 8mm with that goofy 243 grain 323378 for the M48.

    This past couple of years I have been engrossed in the pistol HP's and water testing the alloys at the various speeds.
    It's a real kick in the pants to be able to blend the proper components so they mushroom to the max without fragging.

    It doesn't take too much to get this old farts attention focused in the shop...turn the stereo on to 50-60's...and all the sudden the whole day just whizzes by!
