What calibers do you load for?

[HotRod61]

Just curious what calibers do you load for?

I load for 3006 for the M1 Garand target rds, also 3006 for hunting rds for a hunting rifle.
223 AR target and plinking rds.
243 win
45acp

Not a very big list as I just got into reloading 5 years now. Some of you will have a grocery list of calibers you load for. Maybe my list will be that long after 20 or more years that will be some journey.

I did some 243 with the lee classic. Now I plan to do a bunch more. It's kinda fun.

I'm gearing up to reload 40S&W .223/5.56 & 300 BO then 30-30 & 30-06 later on.

Looking for a good starter setup.

For the 30-30 & 30-06, you won't really need a high-volume setup. But, for .40 & .223 & 300 BO, you might need to look at a high-volume setup. If you're like me, you'll be shooting, and therefore loading 200, 300, or more rounds a week. Loading that many rounds with a single-stage rig gets pretty tedious, and time consuming.. pretty quick. Consider either turret presses, or progressive presses.

Agreed, I just need to start somewhere and get the technique down pat then start to sink more $$$$ into this 4th hobby of mine (fishing is the most expensive thus far)..... A guy could get divorced & go broke.....

Yeah I agree. ALMOST as much fun as shooting. Something about dialing up that load to get a tighter group.

A lot of caliber being loaded out there. That's great. Keep the lists coming

 

[techieguy]

For myself, 380 ACP, 9mm, 10mm / 40 S&W, 45ACP, 223 / 5.56, 270Win
For my son 30/30 and for a good friend of mine 30 Rem

 

[Greenbug]

Dude, when do you shoot?!?!

Almost every weekend, and some weeknights.... at least while the weather and light holds.

 

[pdxPope]

For whatever reason, I tend to to be more interested in oddball calibers these days. So in addition to all of the 'normal' handgun calibers (.380 thru .44 mag) I also reload .32 acp, .38 Super, .38 s&w, 10mm, .45 auto rim and .45 colt.
In the past I worked up a load for 7.62 Nagant using .32-20 brass, but it was a major pain in the butt.

Rifle is limited to 6.5 Swedish Mauser, .300 Savage, .303 British and .32 Winchester Special.
