Ever so often, we ask readers how many cartridges do you load for, and since we have several new members since the last time I saw it asked, how many do you load for and are you adding or decreasing numbers? Anything very unusual, very rare or of other interests?

[John Klingenberg]

About 20 currently and added 224 Valkyrie, 450 bushmaster this year. Some stuff i load a bunch in winter or every other year. Other stuff i load on a continual basis. Sometimes its sale driven. Like when i recently ran accross a big sale on 95 grain .224 bullets or a sale on some special .452 bullets i want to try out.

I've been reloading since 1971 and currently reload for 19 cartridges. I started with a RCBS Rockchucker and now use a Dillon 550B . I'm a 100% disabled veteran and it actually serves as therapy for me . When I'm reloading I'm in my own little world and really enjoy what I'm doing .

 

[Pointman]

5 rifles & 7 handguns. Range from 9mm to 338 LM

 

[rjfunk]

I only load for 2 right now. But looking to increase this soon.

 

[18whlsrolin]

21 or 22 rifles with 16 different calibers scattered amongst myself and friends.
30-40 krag, 7-30 waters, 7mm rum, 300 rcm and 35 whelen are the only scarce calibers. 45-70 is the only straight wall. No pistol cals included.
Every time I think my reloading data notebook is big enough I am proven otherwise!
