I don't have any that I "like" to load one more than another. In the past few years, I've greatly simplified the range of what I still load. All the odd-ball and weird cartridges and firearms went away. Now I only load .223 Rem., .308 Win., .30-06, 9mm Luger, .38 Special and .357 Magnum.
The .30-06 effort is hanging by a slender threat, I have only one M1 Rifle left that I shoot that in. I've thought that when all my .30-06 ammo and supplies are gone, I'll let the rifle go. But that may be some time, as I probably have 2,500+ rounds for it. When it goes on a trip to the borrow pit, at most I fire off 100 rounds at a session.
I don't count .45 ACP in my reloading line-up anymore but I still have one .45 automatic. I have about 1,000 rounds of reloads for it, once those are gone, so is the gun. But again, it's going slowly.
It used to be fun to reload obsolete cartridges using substitute or home-made materials. I don't do that anymore but it was enjoyable and satisfying.
One cartridge that I'd never liked the looks or idea of was the .38-40,. or for purists, the .38 WCF. Which uses a .40 bullet. Until I owned a couple of Ruger revolvers made for it. I was able to come up with some very accurate loads, it was comfy to shoot (of course the revolver was hefty), and I never had any of the dreaded problems off-discussed attendant to the WCF line. It was enjoyable to load and shoot.
