Loaders:
Okay, so I load 9mm, 223, and 44 mag. I'm at the gun auction and there is a 45 cal going at a good price. I'm thinking "If I buy this I have to get more dies and bullets and . . . . oops, it's sold. Whew!"

Live well, be safe.

As best as I can count 25, but I ran out of fingers and toes.

TXGunNut · July 29, 2011, 09:46 PM

Agreed, Prof. New calibers can often cost as much as new guns, sometimes more. Last new caliber forced me into bullet casting as well.

Just an observation....few weeks ago, someone posted question..How many guns do you own? Got some nasty replies about none of your business..& who the heck wants to know (Big Brother.. or rip-offs casing out collections?). It seems to me this post is asking the same thing....And getting lots of answers?

Not really, someone could answer they load for 45 ACP and have 5 of them. Or me, I load for 223 and have three of them two ARs and one bolt action. So it's not quite the same thing.
