I had my dies spread at the farm, home, and the pharmacy. Gathered most of them up and took a pic. I have a set of carbide 223 dies that are in the Dillon and a set of 375 power mag dies that aren't in pic because I'm still looking for something to use them with... Two sets of 6.5 BR dies specific for a XP-100 and ultra light arms pistols. My wife asked why I have so many "boxes" if I only have one gun.  . I just told her most were contender barrels.   How many cartridges do you reload for? |

I have dies for 13, but I'm active in 11, bullets arrive for #12 this week. The one I don't use is 223 because I just don't shoot it much. The rest are revolver loads plus 9mm. Pretty sad compared to most of this crowd!

Without counting them,,, I'd say 50-60 calibers here. But,,, many haven't been used in a while,,, as I'm mostly into handgun calibers anymore.

I lost count over 10 years ago, but then it was a little over 95 and I've gotten more dies since then.........................

I started reloading at 17, forty years ago, and to date have loaded for 57 chamberings, shotguns included. Currently load for 39 different chamberings including some 2 1/2 inch 12 and 16 gauge and some 2 7/8 inch 10 gauge. The first reloading was for a 32 Special with an old Lee pound em in and pound em out set.

I believe I'm at 73 different rifle and handgun cartridges. Nothing shotgun for me.
Start at 17 Ackley Hornet and maxes out at 50 Alaskan.

Hi...
I am set up for 20-25 different calibers, but do not reload for .223 or 9mm because my son can buy the ammunition in bulk cheaper than I can reload it.
Never loaded shotgun for the same reason... I might be able to reach the break even point with 12ga if I reloaded several thousand a year for 4-5 years but my son and I only shoot about 250 rounds a month from March/April until September practicing with clay birds and then only a box or two apiece for hunting in Oct/Nov.
As I get older and with poor health, it doesn't seem to be cost effective at this point unless I could find a cheap quality shotgun press(I have thousands of empty hulls).

I am not even going to count or look as it may scare me.
Don't even bring up bullet molds......

That looks like a good start. I'm 7,000+ miles away from my reloading gear, but IIRC I have dies for over 35 different cartridges, some duplicate sets. I don't actually own or shoot all of those cartridges, and I keep telling myself that I will NOT add any more cartridges to the mix! Well, not many, anyway....
