how many calibers?

[BluesBear]

Lets see, I have reloading dies for;

.45 Colt
.45acp/auto rim (two shell holders)
.44 Mag
.44/40
.41 Magnum
.357magnum
.38 super
9mm
.30-06
.308
.30 carbine

I've got a 12 gauge Lee Loader around here someplace but I don't know where.

 

[Hand_Rifle_Guy]

I currently own firearms that encompass a total of 44 different calibers, and I have resources to reload an additional 4 others that I don't have guns for.

So that means I need guns in:

.264 Win Mag.

.225 Winchester.

.38 Super.

And 7 x 57.

 

[BryanP]

Currently -

.45ACP
.410
.38/.357
.22lr
.223

Considering -

7.62x39
7.62x54R
8mm
(yeah, I'm looking at Milsurps' and haven't picked one yet)
9mm

 

[CZ-100]

.22lr
.25
.380
9mm
10mm
7.62x39
30.06

and I do not reload.

 

[Tamara]

.44 Magnum x3
.357 Magnum x8
.45ACP x9
.45 Colt x2
.44 Special x2
10mm Auto x3
.44-40
.41 Magnum
.38 Special x11
.32 S&W Long
.22LR x4
.38 S&W
.38-40
.32 H&R Magnum x2
7.62x38 Nagant
.25 ACP
.380 Auto
.38 Super
.32 ACP

.577-450
7.5x54 Swiss
7.62x54R x2
8x57JS x3
7.62x51 NATO x2
7x57
.300 Whisper
6.5x55
.30-'06 x2
7.7x58 Arisaka
12ga x2
.243 Winchester
5.45x39
.30-40 Krag
7.62x39

The astute may note that this tallies up to a few more guns than I actually own. That is because some get counted for multiple calibers, such as 7.62x38 Nagant and .32 ACP, or 10mm Auto and .38-40. I also had to figure .22 conversion units in there somehow...

I, uh, don't actually load for any of them. Yet, that is....

 

[Pappy John]

Hmmm, let's see.....I load for

45.70
8mm
30.06
.222 Rem

.45 acp
.44 mag
.44 spc
.357 mag
.38 spc

Not all that many I guess.
Lots of rimfires.
Never bothered loading for the M1 carb., but with the prices going up on its ammo I just may start soon.

 

[foghornl]

Hmmmm

.22LR
.30-30
.30-06
7.62x54
.38Spl
.357Mag
.45ACP

and in the blackpodwer 'front-stuffers'

.50 Flintlock Rfile
.44 Navy Colt

12Ga

Don't reload right now, but I suspect that will change in 2004

 

[OEF_VET]

I currently own:
.22 LR
.32 ACP (may reload eventually)
.38 Special (will reload soon)
.357 Mag (will reload soon)
.45 ACP (will reload soon)
12 gauge
7.62 x 39 (too inexpensive to reload)
7.62 x 54R (too inexpensive to reload)
7.7 Jap (set up to begin reloading as soon as I order bullets from Midway)

70% 357
14% 38 spec
7% 45acp
4% 45 colt
3% 7mm-08

38 spec will rise cause I just got 2 38's a M&P 5" and a K38 and the 45 colt will decrease cause I am selling my Taurus tracker.

____________________

12 calibers, I guess. That sounds low. Hm.

Reload for many of 'em.
End up firing many others-- Dad and I pretty much just pool our collection.

 

[Bob Locke]

I've been telling myself that I'm going to take up reloading for about 5 years now. Still haven't. What a maroon I am...

So, I have to buy for:

Handguns: 9mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .22 LR

Rifle: .22 LR, .308 Win., .223, 7.62x39, .338 Win. Mag.

Shotgun: 12 & 20 ga.

That's 10 by my count. Once I'm done making all my "gun list" purchases I reckon it will be 13.

 

[twoblink]

Logistically speaking?

.22LR for all my training needs.
.40SW for my semi-auto pistols
.357Mag for my revolvers
.308 for my rifles.

 

[Beetle Bailey]

Currently, I shoot:

.22lr
9mm Luger
7.62x39
6.5x55 Swede
.303 Brit
7.62x54r

I'm planning on buying reloading equipment after New Year's Day. Since I'd rather not reload for the cheap ammo I shoot in semi-autos (.22lr, 9mm Luger, and 7.62x39) I'd only reload for:

6.5x55 Swede
.303 Brit
7.62x54r

In addition to (hopefully) giving me better consistancy ammo, I want to reload so I will be free to purchase any firearm I want, without fear of availability (or lack thereof) of ammo in the appropriate caliber.
