My list starts at 218 Bee and goes up to 500 S&W, including several wildcats. One of these days I might sit down and count them all.

I haven't noticed any STW cartridges, aka Shooting Times Westerner. They literally burst onto the shooting scene just before the turn of this century and just as promptly "burst out of the scene". I've never seen any of them myself or know anyone who owns one.

There is no such thing as too many tools, especially when it comes to casting and reloading.
Howard Hughes said: "He who has the tools rules".
Safe casting and shooting!

I've never seen one STW at any of my local ranges.
Right now I reload for these.

Off the top of my head I really couldnt say with out doing some investigating, but I do know that I can cast a Boolit for every single one of them, and most of them in multiple profiles. There is somewhere around 20 different calibers in the safe.
