Was doing "inventory" and decided to take count.

Total of 36 metallic, no shotshell.

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 ?

IIRC, I have reloaded for 85 different chamberings, from 17 ackley hornet to 458 Lott.


ya!


GWB

At one one point in time it was 40 something, I think.

10

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. 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.

Got me to thinking 44die sets, and just think like most we started so we could save a few bucks.
I am so junked up I need a bigger room. wonder how much that's gonna cost

I didnt keep count but around 30. I dont do as much now.

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.

Last time I counted it was 50 but that was some years ago and I know I had some more die sets to the pile.

Currently 11 rifle and 7 Handgun.

6 Rifle (just now, down from 7) and 5 handgun.

Hmmm . . . maybe I need to up my game.

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.

Well over a hundred.

From several 17s to the 700.

I have barrels for .12 and .14 but have not gotten round to building rifles for them yet

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.

Dave Manson

49 sets of dies (48 RCBS & 1 Lyman) that have all been used to load ammunition; 52 total including the 3 MEC shotgun shell loaders in 20, 28 & 410.

.222 Rem, 38 Spl, 357 Mag, 6MM Rem, 45ACP, 44 Mag and 12 Guage & .410 Shotshells.

I have loaded for many. I am currently only loading for four: 300 H&H, 375 NE FL 2-1/2", 405 Grenadier, 400 H&H.

.38 Spl, .357 Mag,9 Para,.45 ACP, .44 Mag, .222 Rem, 6,5x55 SE, .270 Win, 7x64, .308 Win, .30-06, 7,5x55SW, .303 British, .300 Win Mag, 8x57 JS, 9,3x62, 9,3x74R

Currently, I load for 34 calibers, most rifle chamberings.

I probably have 75 to a hundred sets of dies..I seldom sell my dies with a rifle as I know sooner or later I will find another one in that caliber..

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

10 rifle and 5 pistol currently.

Many in the last 60 years. Not many now. roger

22 metallic cartridges
4 gauges of shotgun

Damn, only 21.
Some of you are animals.
Dennis

10 down from about 40.

Dave

11 rifle and 6 shotgun gauges.

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

I currently reload for 58 rifle and 16 handgun cartridges, that I can remember.

Hmmm. Well over 100, never really counted them. - dan

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...

17/.223, .17 Rem, .20 Vartarg, .20 Tactical, .22 Hornet, .22 K-Hornet, .218 Bee, .221 FB, .222 Rem, .223 Rem, .222 Rem Mag, .22-250, 6PPC, .243, .244, .25-20, .256 Win, .25 Rem, .25-35 Win, .250 Sav.,.257 Rob, .25-06 Rem, 6.5 Rem, .264 Win, .270 win, 7x33 Sako, .284 Win, .280 Rem., 7mm Rem, 7mm Stw, 7mm UMag, .30 Carbine, .300 Blkout, 7.62x39, .30-30, .300 Sav, .308 Win, .30-06, .300 WSM,.300 H&H, .300 Win, .300 Wby, 8x57, 8mm Rem, .338 Win, .375 H&H, .375 IMP, .416 Rem, .32-20, 9mm Luger, .38 spcl, .357 mag, .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, .45 Colt, .410 Bore, 28 gauge, 20 gauge, 12 gauge. 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.

I load for .223 Remington, .243 WSSM, 25 WSSM, .257 Wby, .270 WSM, 7mm STW, .300 WINNY, .340 Wby, .338 Lapua, .358 STA, .416 Remington, 416 Rigby. Good Shooting.

Down to three rifle calibers and five pistol calibers.

11 rifle and 10 handguns...and I thought my component inventory was large...
