How many calibers do you load?

[okksu]

Just Milsurp rifle rounds:
6.5 X 55 Swede
7.62 X 54r
30-06
7.55 Swiss
.303 Brit
7.7 Japanese
8MM Mauser--but I don't cast for this one...... yet.

[skruske]

I've lost count.

I know it starts at .17 Remington & goes up to .458 Winchester mag.

[RKJ]

I thought I loaded for a bunch, some of you guys make me look like a amateur. I load for:
9mm
.38/.357/.357 Max
.45 ACP
.44 Mag
.223
.243
.270
30/30
30/06
.300 WM

I've been fiddling with the idea of either a Keltec or a Ruger .380 so if that occurs I'll be loading for that also.

[roverboy]

Man, some of you guys are real shooters. WOAH. I love the smell of gunpowder!

I feel I must make a point here. Caliber is bore size, as I said earlier, I load 8 different 32 caliber handgun cartridges. That is one(1) caliber. Am I picking nits??? No, I am not. The thread was originated as "CALIBERS", not cartridges or chamberings. In the interest of being accurate and trying to prevent misunderstandings I needed to make this point.
I do not mean to offend anyone, but as we all know and understand; accuracy counts!!!!!!

[Jon]

Right now, I'm just loading
45 acp
38 spl

[sargenv]

Let's see... on my 650 I have caliber conversion kits and dies for:

38 acp/38 super
.30-30 Win
.308 Win
.223 Rem
45 acp
40 S&W/10 mm

I have dies for all the above and:

32 acp
32 S&W short/Long
22-250
44 spl/magnum
41 magnum

that I load on my Rock Chucker when it's not set up for swaging (like now).

I also have MEC presses in 12 and 20 gauge.

[Artful]

One of the things I did when I was young was if you needed some reloaded ammo, but didn't want to buy all the stuff.
Why just buy me the dies and primers, powder and bullets and you can use my press but the dies stay with me.

I wish I had owned some of the rifles I loaded for 1895 405 wcf, 1892 25-20, etc

[9.3X62AL]

A bunch. 35 metallics, and 3 shotshell gauges at present. With the kind assistance of NVCurmudgeon and his excellent samples, I will soon be loading all my centerfire calibers with castings. The last hold-out (6.5 x 55) has surrendered to The Silver Stream's siren song.

[NVcurmudgeon]

Sixteen rifle cartridges, fourteen using cast boolits, (all but the .22s.)

Eight pistol cartridges, all using cast boolits.

In more than fifty years I have loaded for fifty different cartridges, counting .244/6mm Rem. as two, and counting.44 Magnum as two because of use in both rifle and pistol. If there is one bit of advice worth passing on it is this: "Never let dies or moulds go with the gun; you may need them as a result of the next trade."

[Dframe]

I have somewhere around 35 sets of dies but use only about 12 of them regularly.
