What I reload for:
380
45acp

What I have dies and supplies for
380
45acp
38 special
357 magnum
9mm
30 carbine
Just waiting for the weather to cool off so I can build out the reloading room in the garage. Then this spring I'll install air conditioning...for year round reloading. Florida summers would be a great time to stock up on reloads as fall and winter are prime shooting and hunting season, as of now...all my hobbies are kind of crammed into the same 6 months
 
.357 mag - from light .38 specials to heavy .357 magnums, all in .357 brass as I don't own a .38 revolver
.44 special
.44 magnum
.45 Colt

That's it at this point. I purchase 9mm and .40S&W in bulk, and honestly, I don't shoot that much of either as I prefer my revolvers.
 
380, 38 special, 357 mag, 41 mag, 45 acp. I cast for all of these, have not shot factory loads in years except for 9mm. I only have one 9mm, a Colt Combat Commander and I seldom shoot it.
 
^^ I agree 9MM is a round I seldom reload for just because ammo is cheap enough that it's not worth my time, plus I like not having to chase the brass.
Have enough brass saved up in case of an ammo glut. The only thing I hate about it is when others are shooting 9's when I'm shooting my 38 Super, makes finding my brass a lot tougher.:scrutiny:
 
Wow. I feel lazy, as I only load .40S&W for (2) handguns. Though, honestly, the only other handgun caliber in the house is .22LR...
 
32S&W
380
9MM
38Special. Wad Cutter and Semi Wad Cutter
44. Magnum and Special
45ACP
45C Smokeless and Black powder.
Bullet casting for:
.375 Round Ball
.380 Round Ball
.454 Round Ball
.457 Round Ball.

Round Ball technically not reloading, but hand loading in the revolver. :)
 
7.65 Luger
.300 AAC, AR15 with Brace
.380
9mm
.357SIG
.38spcl
.357 Mag
.40 S&W
.41 Mag
.44Spcl
.44 Mag
.45ACP
.45 Colt

The vast majority of my loading is 9mm for matches and practice. I shoot 147s, so there's some savings over commercial bulk.
 
I load .357, .45acp, .45colt, and I'm gonna claim .44 (.454) round ball for my cap guns too.

If you arent casting your own bullets......you're missing out.
As soon as I find a judge or Governor, I'll claim .410 also.

.41 Magnum is a mighty interesting round, seems a shame I don't own one. I mean after all once I have a revolver, brass, dies, shellholder and bullets I would be all set.

Well, life's not over yet! ...start looking for a suitable firearm!

As far as me, all the common stuff...
.380ACP
9mm
.41MAG
.45ACP
.45 Colt

Handgun rounds I'm tooled up for but no longer crunch...
.38/.357
.44SPC

The days of wanting One of Everything are pretty much over. Having to load for a bunch of crazy stuff, stock components for it, and all that doesn't really appeal to me. My handguns are pretty limited, too... N-frame revolvers, 1911's, Kahr 9mm's, one single-action, and 2 Buckmarks. KISS. I also don't load a whole bunch of 9mm, when factory ammos are so cheap.
 
Just started reloading two days ago. My plan is to start reloading for everything I shoot. Currently working up on .45 acp. Next will be either 9mm or .357/38 special. The other day I spent 45 minutes waiting for the background check to go through and I was the only one at the gun shop. Once I get my system refined and figure out what my pistols like to eat I should be able to crank out enough ammo at home in the same amount of time wasted standing in line for a day or two worth of shooting.
 
I'm surprised to see how many load .41. It seems like half the replies mention it. Here are mine:

.38
9mm
.357
.41
 
,38 Spl, .357 Mag, .41 Mag, .44 Spl, .44 Mag, .45 Colt and .454 Casull.

Sooner or later I’ll set up my Dillon SDB and start loading for my .45 Super.

I don’t load for 9mm, .40 S&W or .45 ACP.

My plan by the end of the year is a .327 Federal 5” GP 100, so hopefully the new year will ring in with .327 Fed and .32 H&R as well...

Stay safe.
 
I load the following:

380acp
9mm
45acp

38spl
357mag
44spl
44mag

223rem

I mostly load the more cost efficient calibers like 357mag, 44spl/mag, and 45acp because it's worth the most for my time, but I also load subsonic 147gn in 9mm and the odd box of 380 to stay fresh with my LCP.

I always carry factory ammo but it's nice to load similar FPS with the same bullet for practice to save a pretty penny. I try to put 100rds or so of the good stuff through my guns annually in addition to my hand loads but I can fire a case of reloaded gold dots for the price of reloading all my various carry ammunition.

Rifle of course is less about cost and more about precision. Loading my fireformed brass in my rifle with premium components just cant be beat.

I shoot pretty common calibers so my reloading I get extremely good ammo cheap.
 
9mm
45acp
44 mag
50ae

The only reason I can't get myself to buy a 357 is because I don't want to buy another full Dillon 650 head. I had never considered reloading .380 even though I have several. Then I bought a Browning 1911 380 that is so much fun to shoot I see a 380 Dillon head in my future.

I also reload a half dozen rifle calibers where the saving is MUCH bigger.
 
Handgun cartridges that I have the reloading equipment for.

25 ACP, 32 S&WL, 32 H&R, 32 Fed Mag, 32-20, 380 ACP, 9x19, 38 Super, 38/45 Clerke, 357 Sig, 38 Special, 357 Mag, 40 S&W, 10mm, 41 Mag, 44 Special, 44 Mag, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, 460 S&W Mag

I have T/C Contenders with handgun length barrels in 221 Rem Fireball and 7mm Int Rimmed.

I enjoy reloading and would rather make my own ammunition than buy it.
 
38 Super
38 Special
357 Magnum
10mm Auto
45 ACP

About to start loading 9mm Luger, and 460 S&W magnum.

Debating if I’m going to load 45 Colt and 454, or just down load in 460 cases when I want something less hash. I’ve got a lot of 45 and 454 cases sitting around though. I don’t see my self owning a dedicated revolver in either cartridge anytime soon.
 
.22TCM, .32 S&W long, .32 H&R mag., .327 Fed Mag., .380 auto, 9mm, .38 spl., .357 SIG, .357 Mag., .38 Super, .40 S&W, .41 Mag., .44 Spl., .44 Mag., .45 auto, .45 colt.
 
Just ,357 and .38-40, I don't shoot enough .380 to justify it, and 9mm is too cheap to bother.

I use the .38-40 in my 1889 Winchester '73, but I guess technically it's also a revolver cartridge so I included it here.

The loads for both are similar with Trail Boss.
