I started with shotshells in 1971, and with metallics in 1976. Current mania includes 4 shotshell gauges and 35 metallics, plus bullet casting.

Well and truly WARPED.

I've got dies for 16 different calibers but at 51 years old I find myself purchasing more of my ammo then reloading it no. Some I have to load to either get the performance I want and others I cannot purchase ammo for like my 30 Belted Newton on an 03A3 action. It's a great shooter and I wouldn't swap it for any 300 Winchester Mag. Still it would be nice to purchase some good loads for it.

.32, 9mm, .40s&w and .45acp
I plan on loading 10mm when I acquire a S&W1006.

Just started reloading 2 months ago. Right now, I reload .38 sp, .45acp, 30-30 and .308. As soon as I find 9mm dies for a decent price, I'll be reloading that too. The only other calibers I shoot are 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r. I have noticed dies and components for the 7.62 at gun shows so I may look into reloading them as well.

9mm, .45acp, 5.56, .30 carbine, 7.62 nato, 300 win. and looking for stuff for 7.62x54R

Best count is 20 for metallic cartidge. Have stuff to load 12 and 20 gauge also but haven't loaded shotgun shells in years. Been loading for over 30 years now.

Carefull of the 7.62x54R brass. Some of that is Berdan primed and needs a special decapping tool (RCBS makes one).

Welcom to the club. Looks like you are off to a great start.

Thanks, Tubby45. I'll keep your info on the Berdan primers in mind when I get to the 7.62x54r.

I'm really enjoying reloading, it's very relaxing for me.
