Currently only .357 Magnum using either TiteGroup for standard target practice rounds or 2400 (sometimes H110) for the sizzlers.

I hope to start reloading .40 S&W soon since I have a SIG SP2022 which I hardly ever shoot but is enjoyable to do so.

I have been reloading about two months so far and I desperately want to know what they put in smokeless powder to cause such an addiction!
 
Use most of those in 357, and perhaps an overlooked with the heavier bullets is Unique, also it works well in 44 Spec. and 44 Mag. For 40 SW, I use a not well known powder for it. A 180 grain Speer Gold Dot (FOR SHORT BARRELS) with 7.0 grains of 800X powder gives low pressures with just under 1000 fps
in a Glock 22. Clean and accurate.
 
9mm, 10mm, 40s&w, 357 sig, 45acp, 38/357, 460s&w, 17 fireball, 204 ruger, 223, 22-250, 243, 257 roberts, 257 weatherby, 270 wcf, 270wsm, 7 mm rem mag, 308 win, 30-06, 300 wsm, 300 win mag, 300 ultra mag, 325 wsm, and finally 45-70 govt.
 
I handload/reload everything I shoot. When I buy a new firearm I also get a set of dies if it's in a new caliber.

Currently it's 9mm, .223/5.56mm, .308, and 30-06, with an occasional .38, .357, .243, and .257 Roberts.

I don't like factory ammo, period.

As for equipment, an RCBS Rock Chucker and Dillon XL-650 keep my family of firearms fed. For decapping large quantities of 9mm I use my old Lee Progressive. That's about the only task I found it could perform without needing constant adjustment and repair.
 
I haven't bought factory ammo in 2 years. 22-250 Rem, .243 Win, .270 Win, .280 Rem, 7mm Rem Mag, 30-06 and 300 WM. Those are all Lee dies. Have a set of RCBS .45 dies, but the wife doesn't shoot her .45 enough to need to reload for it.

Have the Lee Breech Lock Challenger press and really like it. Haven't broken anything on it but my kids managed to lose the big wooden ball that goes on the handle, and most of my ammo is much more accurate than any of the factory stuff I purchased
