    Being kinda new here, I thought it would be interesting to see what calibers everyone reloads. I started to do a poll, but it appears it would be limited to about 8 choices. Since I would bet we have a wide variety among the membership, I will ask that you simply list what you reload.

    I will start . I have been reloading .243 and 30-06 for many years. Dabbled with 44 mag a little , but I don't shoot it much. A couple of years ago started reloading 300 blackout . With the purchase of a Thompson Contender and a few barrels, I have had to add 7-30 Waters, 7 TCU , and will soon try 22 Hornet.

    I also decided to try a few reloads for my first centerfire as well, 222 remington. I recently loaded a few 257 Roberts for a friend.

    I have over 35 sets of dies for different cartridges, and some duplicates. I don't actually reload for all of them, but I have the capability. I mostly reload for various handgun cartridges; 9mm, .38 Spl, .357 Mag, .44 Spl, .44 Mag, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .480 Ruger. For rifle, .223, .308, .30-06, .22-250 Rem, 6.5-06, and .257 Wby. I have dies for several other cartridges, and sometimes load ammo for family.

    Started out loading for 44mag so I could have some lower recoil loads to shoot. It didn't hurt that I could load them for under 15 cents a round. Primers at 1.5 cents per round. I burned through a ton of Blue Dot.

    Expanded to hunting calibers I shoot. Have a real nice 30-06 round.

    I may get into 300 blackout soon and eventually load some 243 rounds for a friend. Ever since I got started with the 45 colt, reloading has been the gift that keeps on giving, especially in these unusual times.

    If I have a gun that shoots it, I most likely load for it. The exceptions are .22, of course, and 7.62X54R and 7.62X25. I have quite a bit of surplus 7.62X54R ammo, and I really don’t shoot the Mosin much anyway, so not any real need to reload it. The 7.62X25 is one I would love to load for, but I can’t find bullets for it anywhere! I currently load;

    9mm
    10mm
    45 ACP
    44 Magnum
    .223
    7.62X39
    6.5 Creedmoor
    .270
    .308
    30.06
