My hobby mission at the outset was to involve myself so deeply in the ammo production end of shooting activities that I would lose track of the number and nomenclature of the calibers I rode herd on. Mission accomplished, years ago. The only accurate way to list them all is to sit at the bench, where I can view all of the die boxes in order to get the listing straight. I did delete 4 calibers last year, added 1 and re-started another that had been dormant for about 15 years. I'm not a complete cartuchophile.

Stopped by here looking for some info on 45 & 30 cal cast bullets, and I'm still reading.
"Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." Mark Twain
Over the years many have come and a few have gone. I currently load for 20 metallic cartridges. I quit loading for shotgun a few years back as the games got too expensive for my retirement budget.

I think that's about it! Might have missed one or two!
Everything with an "#" beside it indicates that I cast for that cartridge/calibre in differing weights and also dry powder coat.
The 12ga was initially crimped but the majority of what I reload in 12ga now, is roll crimped 2.75" for use in Single Action shooting.
