Haha! Yeah thats quite a 'meager' selection you got there RJ
 
Me, just .30-06 Springfield and the good ole .30-30 Winchester. Just bought .223 dies and components for my new 7615P pump so thats next on the list :)

.270
7mm Mauser
30-30

 Also used to load for:-

.300 Win Mag
7.5x53.5 (M1889 Schmidt- Rubin)
8x56R

  None of the above do I have now.

  I have just acquired a .243 Win so I will gwt the stuff to load for that even though I am not allowed to shoot it just now due our stupid local licensing department :frown  but it never hurts to be prepared .

Hmm...
 
It's way easier to just say what I don't load for...
 
.22 LR, .22 mag. :D

Sounds like a sneaky way to find out what we have for shooters. Since I reload for others it won't work too well.

MODERN
PISTOL
AUTO - 380, 9, 45
REVOLVER
38 SPL, 357 MAG, 44 SPL, 44 MAG, 45 COLT
RIFLE
223, 243, 32-20, 30-06, 762x39, 308, 30-30, 45-70, 44-40, 44
SHOTGUN
10, 12, 20, 410

The things I don't reload for are like Daryl. 22 S, L, LR; 22 MAG AND 22 BELTED MAG. Jay has a picture of one of those somewhere if he will post it. Very rare.

I have stuff to reload for:
.22 Hornet
.223
6.5x55
.30-30
.30-06
.380
.38/357
.40 & 10mm
.44 spl/mag
.45 LC
And I'm working on getting stuff for 12 and 20ga.
 
Some of this stuff was purchased when I came across good deals on used dies/etc, knowing that I will own guns in these calibers some day. I don't have guns to match every caliber I can load for.
 
I need to fill the gap above the .30-06 with some larger bores for larger game, maybe a Whelen or an H&H.

.357 Mag
.40 S&W
.45 ACP
 
.223 Rem
5.56 (AR 15)
.270 Win
30-30 Win
.308 Win
 
Need to get set up for .243 in my little one's rifle and .260 for my sister-in-law

Hello Subsonic. I like your list. I can speak very highly of the '06 Ackley. Early results are in and I am getting easy 3050'/sec with the 150gr bullet. My next tests will be with the 180gr Accubond and I think 3000'/sec is very doable. With a BC of .507 and RL22, having over a ton of energy at 400 yards, it simply makes the 300H&H alot more expensive to load for the same net net. This bullet shoots very very flat....flatter than a hot 270. Another project I'm working on is the 35 Whelen AI. It's projected to be a real thumper.

It's nice having non-magnum alternatives. The beauty of the Ackley is the increase in powder capacity that can be used and burned. These new ultra high BC bullets are limited in non-magnums because of a long bullet length that robs powder room. The other positive sidebar is very long case life with much less case trimming which results in more range time and less time in the reloading room. I will dutifully report as the tests contine. Regards, Rick.

Shotgun -28 ga, 20 ga, 12 ga.
 
handgun- 9mm, 38sp-357 mag, 45ACP-45Colt, 10mm-40S&W, 44mag-44spc

Just about anything you can think of (except the new short magnums and larger British cartridges,) including the so called, "17 Mach 2" Hornady. It has been around at least twenty six years. ...........Paul H

Quote from: sakorick;65062Hello Subsonic. I like your list.

Thanks. I like things that I can shoot enough to be proficient with them. No magnum rifles for me at this time. Magnum handguns are another thing. I'd much rather shoot hot .44 mags than even a .30-06.

I was speaking of a .375 H&H, but the .300 H&H is an interesting caliber too. I like the .375 because it's usually in a "heavy" safari type rifle, so the recoil is more manageable when compared to even some of the smaller belted mags in a 7lb rifle. I have considered a .338/06 or .338 WinMag for my next Colorado Elk trip, but think the .375 or .35 Whelen would end up getting more use shooting cast bullets when I'm not hunting.

I want a K-Hornet too.

I currently reload for the 17 Remington, 204 Ruger, 22 Hornet, 218 Bee, 222, 223, 222 Rem Mag, 225, 22-250, 220 Swift, 243, 6 mm, 25-06, 6.5 x 55, 270, 30-06, 35 Whelen, 338 Win Mag, 7mm STW, 30-30, 303, 416 Taylor, 458, 357 and 44 mag. I also have dies and components for other cartridges that I do not currently load for.  Most of my reloading is done for high volume varmint shooting in the cartridges from 25-06 and down. Reloading is a fascinating undertaking and can be very rewarding and frustrating.

From what everyone has posted it looks like everybody has at least one 30 caliber and one big 22 rifle. Pretty interesting mix of calibers I'd say.

I'd have to agree that reloading is a very challenging and often frustrating hobby. Especially when trying ot work up a load for a finicky rifle that burns gobs of powder and has an appetite for expensive bullets. Like, well my 300RUM.
