10 DIFFERENT Cartridges........ 38-.357 as two. The Wildcat... .375 JDJ is the only one that I am prepared to load , but have not as of yet. ( A 14 '' in. Bbl. & good multi-port muzzle break,real SSK ) TSOB rings for a Bushnell 2-8x32 scope. I gotta get my enthusiasm cranked . so far I have lost interest. My .45-70 , 12'' Hunter bbl. on my T/C Contender has gotten the job done , whenever called on. That's the probable reason. That's my story an' I'M stickin' to it.
 
Many more than 10.I have 4 different 223's alone all shoot their own load.I have component supplies built up over many years and many times of scarcity.
This evening I range tested a 260 rem and a 6.5-284 ,,,fun.I love the smell of burned powder.
 
Re: Just under 100

Hi I have just under 100 as I have loaded from 25acp to 50bmg

What is factory ammo?

Cheers Bill

For me. at least, it's the stuff I find on sale that is almost as cheap as buying new brass. I normally pull the bullet, throw the powder into a can with the rest of the trash powder and stock pile the bullets. Might even snap on the primers just for trigger practice. The wife hates it when she sees me get into a prone position in the hallway. Usually she and the dog go pull weeds or something,

I'm not proud of it, but sometimes I'll use it to get me on paper before I start shooting the good stuff.

The largest category is 10 or more? I thought it would be broken down 0-9, 10-24, 25-50, 51-100, >100, w/o a factory ammo category. I guess I grew up around a bunch of 'enthusiasts'.

Braging or complaining? Better ?? Married...yes/no..gun)
 
Fourteen if you count shotguns and pistols. .300WM, .270WSM and .243 are more time consuming considering their long range performance. I started reloading at 15 years old with a Lyman hand reloader. Looked like a black pair of pliers with a die on the top. I was completion shooting pistols . reloading was the only way I could afford to shoot.
