What is the smallest round you will reload?

[rajb123]

Is this based on the price of new ammo, desired acccuracy, dependibility or something else?

 

[Wil Terry]

25ACP, and it goes up 135+- steps from there. It is T-TOTALLY about controlling my own destiny; NOTHING ELSE MATTERS !

 

[Maximumbob54]

I would reload rimfire ammo if I could find the old kits they used to sell.

 

[LiveLife]

380 Auto as I come across range pick up brass regularly but hardly ever see smaller caliber cases anymore. It seems everyone is shooting 45ACP these days as that's what I pick up most with 40S&W second and 9mm third.

 

[Walkalong]

The smallest I load is .32 ACP. I would probably load .25 ACP, if I had one.

 

[ReloaderFred]

The smallest I load is .380, since that's the smallest center fire I own. There are 30 other calibers up from there that I load.

Pistol/revolver 9mm Luger,rifle 223 Rem

 

[ny32182]

9mm and .223 are the smallest pistol and rifle I own and load respectively, but size of the cartridge would not be a factor in whether or not I would decide to load for it.

 

[ranger335v]

25ACP, and it goes up 135+-

Ditto.

 

[Salmoneye]

.38 S&W

2gr Red Dot
158gr Penn TCBB @ .358"

Light, and accurate...

 

[Patocazador]

.25 ACP and .17 Rem.

 

[hogcowboy]

.380 and I have trouble with my big mits with that.:banghead:

 

[cfullgraf]

Right now, 32 ACP and 17 Remington.

Looking for a good 25 ACP and I'll get reloading stuff for that.

 

[ADKWOODSMAN]

.223 in rifle
9 mm in pistol

 

[swiftak]

.32 acp and .223.

For now.

 

[Mike 27]

I have dies for the 32acp's but haven't loaded for them yet. 9mm is the smallest to this point but will reload for anything I have.

 

[popper]

308 cast, 243 jacketed. Those 55 grainers are hard to hold.

 

[JLDickmon]

17 Remington

Try picking those up off the bench.

 

[56hawk]

Currently 32ACP is the smallest I reload. I'll probably get around to 25ACP one of these days, but I just don't see myself shooting them that much. The cost of ammo is the main reason I reload any caliber, but I also like to tune the ammo to the gun both for reliability and accuracy.

 

[FROGO207]

Well I do reload 25 ACP but the smallest for now is the 22 hornet. I got it going almost as fast as the 22 MAG using Lil Gun and 40 grain bulets.

 

[oneounceload]

32 ACP and 32 SWL, because I don't own a 25

 

[Yarddog]

"[380 and I have trouble with my big mits with that.]"

And that't for sure

[Mel1776]

Smallest hand-loaded calibers

.25 ACP
.223 Remington

Because I can!

 

[Bush Pilot]

.380, because of the price and I can't shoot very much factory ammo before it becomes hard on my hands.
