Set up in a slightly different vane than the number of guns poll. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151919

A general question of the numbers of different calibres that people are reloading for (including wildcats).
I myself.
.223 Rem, .30-30, .308 Win, .30-06, .300 WM, .303 Brit, .38Spec/.357Mag, .40S&W, .45ACP
So 9 calibres I collect brass for....

Lol... if only.

I reload for or at least have the dies :eek: for almost all the calibres I have. Even if I am not shooting that calibre much I want the dies so I don't have to buy expensive ammo. Getting cheap dies for the low use calibres is often about the same price as a box of ammo for it so you might as well get the dies just for the heck of it!

Still looking for some 22LR dies... anyone seen any around?

My wife handed me a can of coke the other day and I started feeling around on the bottom for how deep the primer was seated. Think I've got a problem?
 
Just started into reloading so only one calibre so far (.40 S&W). The only other guns I have so far are 22lr. I'd reload that too if I could but people kinda look at you strange when you start to save your 22lr brass!!:rolleyes:

Only if it wasn't deep enough. I would hate to have a slam fire in that calibre...

At least it wasn't that Pepsi calibre... :rolleyes:

Danke... I figure that I almost need a garage worth of space to adequately keep all my reloading stuff for the 9 calibres I use. I didn't put # of guns into it cause I know of people who have 3-4 30-06's but nada else. Or in the case of a couple of the ones with more money than I can ever forsee myself having, a single TC Contender with umpteen calibres, or even a Desert Eagle in .357/44/50AE due to it being a kit/set. I figure that some guys will have 3 pistol calibres and have 3 dillons, where as I have 9 calibres but only single stage presses (x2). It makes for an interesting read IMHO.
