Sticking to 3 cartridges (9mm, 45ACP, and 38 Special) right now to get the basics down. I know I will have questions in the future.
Poll: How long have you been reloading?

I detect a hint of snarky cynicism.

Maybe snarky, or just a silly answer to a thread like many others that have nothing to really offer in the way of moving the sport forward so I gave what I felt was a deserving answer.
I’m not really a reloader per say’ although I do reload for a couple of rifles I’m no where close to accomplished beyond my own little program.

Started in 1978 20 GA on a mechanical 600 Jr. By 82 had my own 12ga mec Jr and an rs2.

I assembled sks-123 SP Barnes with Fed cases, sks-123 SP Speer with Rem cases, sks-150 Hornady and sks -150 Barnes with Win cases using IMR 4198 in a series of testloads for each.
Less than 1% difference between the "0-10" and "40-50" groups. (~22-23%~)
Combining the "40-50" with the "50+" group would = 40% of the respondents.
A "30 and up" group would = half of the respondents.
Definitely some years of experience out there!!!

Wow I'm surprised that the results are basically evenly split all the way down... Or should I say, not surprised... Anyway, I first started with 270 Winchester in August 2020 and now do basically the most common calibers.

I started with an RCBS Rockchucker back in 1988/89 for 9MM. A few pauses, due to moves, trips with my rich uncle, etc. Got really into it in 2012.

Started in about 1968. Mom had so sign for a 4 5/8 inch Ruger Blackhawk. Only way I could afford to shoot it was to reload. Started reloading 38 special with Lee Whack a mole. Still have it. Take it out once in a while to reminisce about the "good ol' days". I remember reloading while watching "Gunsmoke" on the tv with the family. I set off a primer while trying to seat one and dad said I had to do the priming operation outside after that. Would take most of the show to reload one box of 38 special's.
When I finally got a RCBS Jr. press about a year later though I was in tall cotton.
Its about the only hobby I've had for most of my life. Too old to change now.

I started in 2010, in my 40’s
Now shooting and reloading is practically the only thing I do in my spare time.

You are going down a long dark reloading road.
I can only offer you this advice: "Use the Force..., use the Force."

I think Alf was talking about the forum survey, not the midterms.

Yep! For me it's about 12 1/2 yards with a pistol!
