I started reloading in 1999. Mainly to reduce the cost of shooting 9mm (which was an outragous $5 a box at the time). It also allowed me to shoot the 7.7Jap Arisaka my dad brought home from WWII at a reasonable cost. I found reloading to be about the only way to shoot that and other obsolete guns like my brother's .375win Big Bore '94.

I load the following regularly:
30-06 for M1
7.7Jap
.223 for AR
.45acp for 1911's and XD45 (Boo on the XD for not feeding SWC!)
9mm for Sig P226
.45C for Redhawk

I also load, but not as frequently:
.38spcl
.357mag
.44mag
.44spcl
.375win
