36 ?? Wow, that's a lot !!
I thought I was a bit OTT with 7 chamberings
.243 Win
.270 Win
.308 W
30.06
.300 Win Mag
.300 Blaser Mag
.375 H&H
I bet the reloading supplies firms love your custom. Do they roll out red carpet every time you arrive ?


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Currently load for 22 rifle, 9 handgun and 6 shotguns chamberings. Add another 10 rifle, one handgun and one shotgun chambering for past guns.

Crap I lost count years ago. Back in my young a FOOLISH days I would load for others for a fee. Made a few $$ paid for my own loading and still thank my lucky stars I didn't get my butt sued off. Roll Eyes My guess total different over 50.

I'm too lazy to go down and count but between 15 and 20 now days. Just counted 23 sets in the drawer.
At one time 4 shotgun not any longer.


As usual just my $.02

Right on 30 that I've loaded for. Includes five shotgun gauges.

About that same number again - likely more - of cartridges I have rifles and dies for but have not yet loaded (mostly old levergun rounds). Eg., .33 WCF, .25-20, .30-40, etc.

I have in excess of 30 rifles, but a few are chambered for the same chamberings, and that doesn't count my spare barrels for my comp guns, which I have several barrels for in differing states of finish. I have barrels in 6.5x47, 6.5-284 Norma, 264 WM and 300 WM that haven't been used, and others that get swapped regularly.
I even have some 30 and 6.5 blanks I can't decide what chambering to use in them.
I also load for 44Mag and 45ACP.

My 2 biggest chamberings are 500NE 3 1/4" and 505 Gibbs.

Cheers.

I have 63 die sets not counting the duplicates.
for some odd reason I still wander up and down the die aisles just to see what is available.

of the 63 there are only 2 I don't have rifles for but I still use one of the sets for something different.

The main shelf in our loading room has 218 sets of dies.

These include forming dies as well as some neck only dies.

We have another shelf of dies we do not use regularly, that has 185 sets.

Bloody hell, I never realized we had so many!!

Too damned many.

Saeed--you need to separate the dies. They've reached critical mass; you've created the reloading equivalent of a breeder reactor.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

Dave,

I have just received new reamers from you, including a brand new wildcat.

We made a 30-223 with no other mods - have not had time to build the rifles yet.

Hopefully during the summer.

One can never have too may rifles, hence the number of dies.

In teh old days we used to say one cannot have too many girl friends.

Now we are all married we had to change that clap

I have not counted.
Though, after seeing several of these numbers, I no longer feel as though I have an obsession.
I am relieved !!

Six handgun and four rifle calibers. Quit reloading .223/5.56 as the ammo I will accept is easier to buy than reload. Still haven't gotten the dies for 280AI yet, but have the brass and a rifle...

Off the top of my head.

I've sold a few of the rifles in useless calibers like the .300 WSM, 7 STW, and 7mm Ultramag, but still have the dies and components to load for that caliber. And I load for a few calibers, like the 7x33 Sako, for which I have no proper dies but simply have to adapt dies for other calibers to do the job.

Oh, does .50 caliber black powder count?

You know, this question and some similar ones come up every so often. My answer is: who wants to know and why? I guess Hillary and her ilk has gotten me paranoid to the point where I wonder if some gun grabbing beaurecrat isn't building a file.
