The 17hmr got traded for a 22 pistol
The 5.7x28 is still on the wish list.
The Cooper 22ppc proved to be too purdy and was sold.
2 6.5 Grendels where added. CZ 527and AR upper
The 708 was sold to a new hunter...Really should replace it!
The 308 baer was rebarreled to 338 Edge
A couple of 380acp have been added.
A 10mm has been added
Maybe its time for a new picture?
As for rounds reloaded in last year, the 9mm is by far the winner followed by the 380acp. The 6.5 Grendel leads the rifle count followed by the 6.5 Sweede

I'm probably missing a few...kind of depressing.

I will say, out of all of these, the only round finicky enough to really annoy me is the 458 SOCOM.

Dang, these lists are crazy, how do you guys have enough time for this?

I load for:

My Hunting 7mm Rem Mag
My 223 Rem AR

Help my brother with his:
7mm SAUM
223 Rem

and I can barely find time for these Lol
 
I'll just list dies I have and make a note of ones that I don't own guns for. Some guns I may only reload for every few years, and then they sit around until their ammo is used or I decide for some reason to develop a new load. But some may not get shot for a year or two at a time so ammo lasts.

Tell you the truth, I've kinda lost track here's an older picture I should up it'..., the bottom shelf is two-deep.

And the winner IS 436 !!!!!!!

I was feeling bad because I counted 34 rifles and 7 pistols that I currently load for, But now I don't feel so bad after seeing 436's die sets. I normally sell the dies with the rifle, so I know I have loaded more but I don't think even after 50+years of loading I could match that amount of die sets.
