By the end of the summer I’ll be reloading for 222, 6 mm, 260 , 7mm-08 , 270 WSM, 300 WSM and 350 R M. That should be it for now but I also have dies for 22-250 , 270 Win. 30-30, 308 and 300 WM...
 
I've been a little surprised by the number of guys listing the 30 Carbine as a pistol/handgun calibre that they reload for. I didn't think there would be so many with revolvers chambered in it in Canada. I've seen a few but they are far in between. Interesting.

Yep. Pretty sad when a blackhawk or an automag hold more rounds than an M1, isn't it?:mad:

.308
7.5x55 Swiss

I also have a Lee Load-All in 12ga and .45ACP Lee Loader that I have yet to try.

I just started reloading last summer and have yet to try most of my ammo (between 4-500 rounds) and hope to do so this season.

I dont ACTIVELY load for all of these, but I have loaded for most of them at some time. (The 6.5x55 and the 7x57 are new to me, so I havent done any loading yet). Also, I have a habit of buying dies for any gun I have, but may not use it much if ammo can be bought cheap (7.62x39 for example)

50 Action Express
9x19 Luger
243 Win
357/38 Special
44 Mag
45 ACP
30-30
338 WinMag
30-06 (two sets, one mine, one borrowed)
223
6.5x55 Swedish
7mm RemMag
7x57 Mauser
7.62x39
308 Win
30-06
303 British
8x57 Mauser
458 WinMag

Not all are mine, the ones on the left belong to friends that I occasionally load for.
Also not shown. 12 Guage, and some homemade contraption for loading 577/450 Martini-Henry. You know its gone too far when you build your own loading equipment!

I would skip the Lee Loader since you already have the press. Well, maybe try a round just to see but that's it! Even a single stage press for pistol ammo is faster and better than loading on the Lee Loader! :p

Ya, that makes total sense... :runaway:

But the real one we are interested in you reload AND shooting is that Russian anti tank thing (ATRP or whatever :eek: ). That's what we want to see fired! :D
