I load for everything that I shoot. Except 7.62x39 because it's too cheap to buy and the rifles I have that chamber 7.62x39 wouldn't know the differance anyway!

:-0!! Is it possible that some people at this board are professional reloaders? How can one load for so many calibers and still be working/not being divorced???

I have dies for:

.357
9 mm
.30-06
.222
.45-70
.44 M
.45 ACP.

Because of time restraints I load at this time only for .44. Eventually .45.

But I will add 9.3x62 dies :-))

Have fun! H

Well, let me take a stab at this:
Pistol:

35 Remington

I also cast bullets for a bunch of calibers in my spare time.

I think that's all but I may have some more odds and ends. At one time I had dies for 41 different metallic cartidges. I cannot imagine what all Saeed must have if he has 191 calibers. I envy you, my friend. I wish we could get together to talk loading and shooting but this must be the best way and I am thankful for this site and all the ones that post and share here.

Hello,
Oh, I forgot about my shotguns
I currently have 12 and 20 gauge loaders, but I have not done 20 for years, and I do not really do that much 12 anymore. Actually I am thinking of getting rid of the 20 gauge equipment altogether.

I just found this thread and responded; any idea why your wife thinks reloading is perverted?
Also, how did you come up with your "handle".
