How many calibers do you reload ?

I am about where cfullgraf is. I can reload 34 or 35 different ones presently. The most being 38 SPL as I can shoot it more inexpensively than .22 LR lately.

I actually reload for 6 all the time and for another 5-6 once a year or so.

I did take the time to work up loads and have components on hand for all the others though.
 
Interesting no 204 Ruger.

Apologizes that I did not list the cartridges that I can reload for. 204 Ruger is my choice for prairie dogs and it is one of the 10 or so that I am actively reloading at present.

Rifle cartridges range from 17 Remington to 30-06. Handgun cartridges range from 25 ACP to 460 S&W Magnum. Includes 3 wildcats and 1 obsolete cartridge.

Like FROGO207, I have loads worked up for almost all of the cartridges. 7.62x54R is about the only one that I have not yet. I bought a Moisin Nagant and it sits unfired in my "residential security container".

Plus have at least 15 more sets of dies that I don't currently load for.
 
I lost count. No, I don't want to go count. Who cares, if I get another firearm that's reloadable, I get the dies as soon as I can. If by some chance I sell said gun, I keep the dies until I no longer feel I would ever replace that said caliber.

Presently have 16 dies for 18 cartridges plus 2 Shotgun setups. Have 35 Rem dies but no barrel at present.
 
.25ACP, .32ACP, .380ACP, 9mm, .38Super, 40S&W, .45ACP, 10mm, .38Special, .357Magnum, .44Magnum, 30-30. Considering .556 (cheap to buy) and .308 (no upper yet).
 
I'm set up to load for 21 calibers between handgun, rifle, and shotgun. I'm not including the black powder guns. But I picked up enough commercial and surplus ammo in 9mm and 7.62x54 when it was cheap so those dies are gathering dust. And most of my shotgun use is with a muzzleloader.

My lovely wife is the one who insisted we be able to reload for every center fire caliber we have, dies and components. Who am I to argue with that logic? :D

Calibers or cartridges?
12 calibers across about 43 cartridges.
(when you load a cylinder in your revolver or a magazine for your semi-auto....are you putting calibers in?) "My 1911 magazine holds seven calibers." Nah.
