I wasn't a member here when the original thread started,glad to see it picked up again.Amazing how heavy some guys are into handloading,I would put myself somewhere in the middle of the pack with my assortment,here goes.
Shotgun-12,16,20
Rifle-22 Hornet,243 Win,25-20,250 Sav,6.5X52,6.5X55,6.5X58,270 Win,7X57,7mm Rem Mag,30 Rem,30-30,300 Sav,308,30-06,300 Win Mag,7.62X54R,303Br,32 Spec,8X54,8X56R,8X57,8X60,35 Rem,358 Win,9X57,9.3X62,38-55,444 Marlin and 11mm Mauser.Soon to add 9.3X57 to the flock to feed a really nice Husqvarna from Tradex.

I can honestly say that I enjoy the handloading aspect every bit as much as actually shooting,especially forming some of the more uncommon numbers from more easily obtainable brass such as 270 or 30-06,although with the influx of Prvi components some rifles are a lot easier to keep shooting than they used to be when I first got going with things.

Thats all I can think of right now. Plan to eventualy load for 8.15x46R and 30-30 whenever I can get the money together to build up the rifles. Maybe 38-55 If I live long enough to put together another one! :D

In one year Holly!!
 
have been reloading 222rem for 2-3 years and am all set up for 30-06.just need the components for the 30-06 and I will be good to go. I have dies for 308,243,30-30, 32special and a couple of other odd balls that the father-in-law used to reload for.
 
I have something over 40 sets of dies. I've used almost all of them but I only use about 12-15 regularly. My reloading takes place in a converted bedroom in the basement. Trimming, bullet casting, & tumbling are done in the garage. Brass and bullets are stored in totes under the basement stairs.
 
Like Dan, my die count exceeds 100 sets and my rifle and handgun count exceeds 130, I have many double and triples in calibers and depending on my mood I load for all of them including all my old collector lever Winchesters (except my 66 in 44 Henry CF). I have several new to the stable and am on the hunt right now for more dies......375 Ruger, and 2 sets of 8X57S. I have also found it is possible to load certain cartridges with different dies, or combinations thereof, for other cartridges, ie: 45-90 and 45-110 with 45-70 dies, 40-82 and 40-72 with 40-82 dies, 38-72 and 38-56 with 38-56 dies etc. It is possible to make perfectly acceptable 220 Swift loads with 22-250 dies, 303 Brit and 30-40 Krag with 308 or 300 Sav dies............Anyway you get the idea, it is possible to reshape brass in many different ways, with many different tools with a minimum of effort.
