This is one of these deals that sneak up on ya. I started out with 2 or 3 but when I started counting the different recipes in my load book I soon ran out of fingers and toes.

.223-.243-7mm mag-.300 savage-30'06-7.62x39-7.62x54r-30 carbine.
I counted up 15 handgun cartridges, and didn't even start on the rifles.
My first love, was the 38 Special and I have loaded many , many more of them than any three others combined. What the total is, I have no idea. Well over 100k I suppose? I also have loaded a lot of 30-30's, 357's and 44 mags, in numbers running well into the 1000's. These days, I cast for everything I own.
Top three? 38 special, 22-250, and 30-30. I've loaded more of these in the past 45 years than anything else.

Those dies alone would take a lot of shelf space...I can't imagine where you stock all that extra brass and loaded rounds. Then there are moulds to feed some of that...sizing dies etc....whew!
Just think of the multiple gun safes! Compared to 50.9% of this forum...I'm a 'minimalist! The first time I ever thought of that...
Derek...you shouldn't be screwing with me....I'm still trying to cope with the shock of being a minimalist!
As stated by Shiloh everything I shoot except rimfire . I stopped buying store bought ammo about the time I stopped getting store bought hair cuts , for the same reason . I wasn't satisfied with the quality . For the poll probably 15 different calibers .
Uh, not enough...
Started with 9mm, added 243 for some reason, i could buy ammo cheaper than loading for it with the few time I shoot it. Added a 22tcm, more of a pain the the 9mm, but was unsure of ammo supply. Then .223 and last was .300 aac. Avoiding adding more!
223, 22-250, 243, 25-06, 257 STW, 6.5 Creedmoor, 270, 7 STW, 308, 30-06, 300 BLK, 7.65 x 53, 32-20, 32 WS, 338WM, 35 Remington, 45-70, 45-90 and that's just the rifle calibers best I can remember right now.
My caliber list has been getting smaller lately because I've trimmed down the number of guns that I own. I don't have any relatives that are still alive that I like well enough to leave them my guns when I die, so I'm cutting things down to the minimal that I feel that I need to survive. I don't have any friends still alive either, so I won't be leaving anything to them. At some point, I'll probably be able to go back to an old single-stage press. :(
Just counting the days until I die, I guess.
Sorry to hear of your dismal condition. Prayers sent.
What a sad post. True enough but still sad. I know an 80 something guy who is in the Michigan Trap Hall of Fame. Lost his wife....no kids....no longer able to shoot. Gave away one of his K80's to someone who could use it and still goes to the club to help new shooters.
All the usual suspects. 6 different 30/31 bores, 3 different 6.5's . favorites as far as quantity are 9mm, 45 and 38 . (the usual suspects)
18 and looking to add more.

The 308's, 300 Savage's, 243's, 45 ACP's and 9mm's get the most use.
