At least my list is short enough...
.25-06
.44 special
.44 magnum
.444 Marlin
And I'm looking at getting OUT of the .25-06! This will simplify my reloading components list!

7.62 X 51 and .223 Milsurp are most of my shooting now.

Let's see: 9mm, 9 x 18mm, .38 and .357Mag, .40 S&W, and .45 acp.
.223, .308 bolt / semi, .30-'06 bolt, .303 Brit, 8mm, 7.62 x 54R, and soon 6.5 x 55 Swede.
I have dies for other calibers, but don't reload them lately. (.380, 7.62 x 39)
I'm also considering .44 Mag / .44 Special. I'd like to get a .44 lever gun with matching revolver whens funds permit.

Wow. I gotta say I'm amazed at how many different calibers so many of you load for. I load for handgun cartridges only because I shoot USPSA. Therefore I load because there's really no other way to have ammo to make major in all my guns (that's as cost effective).\
For me it's a simple list: 9mm, .40 and .45

Time for an update? Already?
I did a pretty complete list in post #53. Only thing I've added since is .41 Magnum, for my long-sought S&W M58.
Best,
Johnny

7-30 Waters....just got through forming some from 30-30 brass.
Is it any more difficult to do this from .375 winchester brass?

Personally, I load for the 38, .357, .44 Mag, 45 Colt, 223, 243 Win, 308, 30-06, 8mm Mauser, and 45-70. When time allows, I would also like to get dies for the .40 S&W and maybe 9mm.
In the past I have also loaded the .280, .444 Marlin and .35 Whelen Improved. These three are my father’s main hunting cartridges.
If the truth must be told, I enjoy loading cartridges as much as shooting them.

Let's see....

.22 hornet
.223 rem
.357 mag (and .38 spl.)

vonF - dont forget the 657 in your quest. as fine and accurate a revolver as i have ever used. i would love a 57, but they are tough to come by, in great condition that is. read that as "like new". perhaps i expect too much.
