300 Savage

used to do 12 gauge too, but haven't in some time...

List was just off the top of my head, so I might have missed one or two

RC20 · December 28, 2020, 03:03 PM

More or less 8

jmr40 · December 28, 2020, 03:14 PM

Mostly 308 and 6.5 CM. I have dies for 30-06, but don't shoot it much anymore. It just seems such a waste of powder to pour 58-60 gr in a 30-06 case when I can get the same results with 1/2 powder and recoil using 40-45 gr of powder in the others.

I shoot a fair bit of 9mm and 223, but can buy it cheap enough that I can't justify loading it.

I shoot a few other rounds, but no in high enough volume to justify it.

FITASC · December 28, 2020, 03:19 PM

Since I have been cutting back, 12 gauge
20 gauge

I have the ability to load 7-08

10 handgun cartridges and 18 rifle cartridges.
I am including a few that I rarely do anymore, like 6mm TCU and 7mm TCU, and .454 which I haven't loaded in quite some time.

ligonierbill · December 28, 2020, 07:48 PM

Currently loading 18 handgun and 31 rifle rounds, plus 16 and 12 ga shotshells (blackpowder/brass hulls). I still have dies for 3 others that I quit. This came up a couple years back, and someone was running in excess of 75 different rounds!

FrankenMauser · December 28, 2020, 10:03 PM

Forgive my laziness, but I'm not in a mood to list them all right now.

43
About half a dozen are wildcats.

Some others in the past.
Additional dies and brass on hand for cartridge that I have never reloaded, have not gotten to yet, or I don't need dies to reload.
And plenty of extra dies, since some cartridges have multiples, and/or some have been given to me. (I have three 2-die sets for .338 WM.

)
