Do you reload 1 or all of your cartridges?

[Rico567]

I reload -mostly- everything I shoot; doing 12 ga. clays loads now, was doing .45 ACP last week. I don't load .303 British, because I hardly ever shoot the SMLE. I don't load 7.62 x 54R, because I rarely shoot the Mosin-Nagant. I don't own a Makarov any more and never did load for it anyway, but that's kind of below the line for me. The "line" is 9mm Para. or smaller......

 

[LennieT]

Everything except 22lr and shotgun shells. I have never fired a factory round in the vast majority of my guns.

[Arkansas Paul]

I load for everything except rimfire and cast for all handguns.

 

[oneounceload]

Everything but .22 gets reloaded in my house or the gun goes away

 

[Apex Predator]

I don't reload everything in the house (yet) but I am up to about 20 calibers. Still don't load 12 ga, 223, or 7.62x39. I do cover a range though, 22-250 to 416 Rigby and 450 Marlin.

 

[kcofohio]

380 Auto, 38 Spl., 9mm, 357 Mag, 40 S&W, 45 Auto, 7.62x54R, and 7.92x57.
Over 75% of the ammo here in the cabinet is reloads.

 

[oneounceload]

That is a lot of calibers.....I am wondering it you mean that you load for 31 different cartridges.

I caught that

 

[Ky Larry]

I reload for all my center fire rifles and hand guns. No shot shells. The one exception is 7.62X39. I still have several 1000rnd cases of it I purchased at CenterFire Systems for $69.95 a case. Don't shoot my AK much so it will probably last me the rest of my life.

P.S. CenterFire had 9mm Russian ammo for,IIRC, $59.99 a case.Should have stocked up.

 

[floydster]

My guns haven't seen a factory round in 60 years, except 22lr.

 

[Steve51]

I reload everything I shoot except .22LR & .22 Mag. and 12 gauge sabot slugs.
So that would be .32 H&R Mag, .38 Spl, .357 Mag, .44 Spl, .44 Mag, .44-40WCF, 20 gauge shells, & 12 gauge shells.

Yes, it was a joke There is NO WAY I would de-mum my Arisaka!!!!!

 

[Captcurt]

I have loaded most of my ammo for the last 45 years but I don't do any 9mm or 380. A list of calibers that I do load goes something like this.

40 S&W
38/357
45 LC
221 Fireball
220
222
223
243
257 Weatherby
6.5X55
260
270
280
30-30
300 savage
30-06
300 WSM
300 RUM
20ga
12ga
and I need dies for 7 TCU. I will start on 410 and 28 ga as soon as I shoot up the 4 cases of AA's that I have.

WHEW!

 

[MustGoFaster]

As of now just one. 9mm. What I shoot the most. I just got a set of .38spl/.357 dies two weeks ago. Have brass and powder, no projectiles or Mag primers.

I got into reloading as a curiosity and I have a .270-08 in the family. Loads for that are always going to be custom and $$$ or a little more work on the press. So start with what I shoot the most, and build equipment over time to the end goal. .40S&W / 10mm dies and a better scale are probably next. After that I imagine I'll get into rifle stuff.

 

[spanky1968]

I reload every centerfire I shoot. Primarily because of the cost and availability. I buy bullets and powder when I can find them.

 

[John3921]

I load everything but .22

.38/.357
9mm
.45 acp
.223/5.56
.22-250
.25-06
.270
.300 win mag

.410
28 gauge
20 gauge
12 gauge

My hunting rifles have never seen a factory load.

 

[Mal Paso]

I cast the bullets for and load almost every round I shoot.

I started loading then casting to have enough consistent high quality ammo that I could learn to shoot. As it turned out it took a LOT. Now the ammo is fit to the gun and I would not willingly go back to factory.

 

[Mad Chemist]

I won't own a caliber that I can't get dies for.

Obvious exception is rimfire.

 

[Dframe]

I not only load almost every round I shoot, I have dies for many I no longer own. And more for guns I Plan to own someday.

 

[david bachelder]

All, except 22LR.

 

[Mac45]

Load for everything except the 7.62x25 and the shotguns.
I'll get to the 7.62 at some point, doubt I'll ever load for the shot guns, just don't shoot 'em enough.

 

[Sport45]

I reload for everything centerfire except for shotguns and 7.62x38R Nagant.

 

[herrwalther]

Just load my .35Remington right now. Sold off all my 7mm-08 reloading gear as I didn't have that caliber anymore. Plan to reload/handload all the calibers I have firearms for in the next few years. Once my collection starts to settle a bit.

 

[Pete D.]

calibers?

This thread caused me to do a quick count of the calibers I load for, which comes to a total of 76 for rifle and pistol

76 calibers?
And others at 31, 34, 45 calibers reloaded...
How many of those "calibers" are the same caliber (diameter)?
When you put all of what you have reloaded into boxes, do you have boxes of calibers?
When you pick one up and hold it in your hand, is that thing a caliber?
When you load a magazine or a cylinder, are you putting calibers in? Six calibers into your .44?
Cartridges. We reload cartridges. Many of them are the same caliber.
Among others, I reload .30 Carbine, .30-30 Winchester, .308 Win., .30-06 Springfield..... four different cartridges, one caliber.
Using the right word.....It's a bug of mine.

[Gottahaveone]

I regularly shoot 12 different centerfire calibers, and reload 11 of them. 7.62x54r is the exception. I stacked enough spam cans of cheap surplus for the next 25 or so years, based on my historical rate of consumption.
