What calibers do you shoot?

I guess i should add "multi" to my list of calibers. ;-D
 
I am now set up to reload everything I shoot. (If you figure that I haven't shot the rimfires in a while ;) )
I'll need some more supplies, but I have all the dies etc.
 
.22lr - Brno Model 2
.223Rem - CZ 527 American
.257 Roberts - Custom built FN Commercial with a 24" Lothar Walther Barrel
7x64 - Santa Barbara 98 actioned Voere (Becoming LR toy)
9.3x62 - FN Commercial with an express V sight, used from driven Boar

12g - 2x Browning 525, Browning BPS 28", Benelli Supernova (Birdshot, Buckshot and Slug)
 
I have firearms in the following calibers:

Long Guns:

.223/5.56
.243
8mm Mauser
25-20
300 Blackout
12 Gauge
20 Gauge
16 Gauge
.22LR

Hand Guns:

8mm Steyer
9mm Luger
10mm S&W
.45 ACP
.45 Colt
.22LR
 
I shoot a lot of 22LR through my converted M4. I'd like to start reloading 12GA so I can shoot more. It's taken a long time to find a shotgun that doesn't kick too much. I physically can't take much recoil.
 
Then definately get an inexpensive press, and learn to make your own low-recoil loads.

It's easy and cheap.

I did these with a $50 Lee press.

Some have paint or marker on them because they are special loads.

.22lr, .380, 9mm, .243, 7.62 X 39, 30-30, 20 ga.

Ammo is plentiful in Oklahoma. It's our version of the fountain of youth.
 
No idea how old this thread is, can't see a date on them. Pretty good though.

22LR, 22 Mag. 2 243's Win Partiot and a Mod 700, 25-06 Rem. 6.5x55 Mod 70. 6.5x06 Mod 700, 2 308's, Win Rem 788 and Patriot, 30-06, custom 1903 Springfield by Paul Jaeger. Three AyA's in 410, 28 and 16 ga, Ithica mod 37 16ga. 2 22 LR handguns, High Standard HD Military, Smith&Wesson Combat Mastepiece, 2 9mm's, Ruger mod P89 and S&W Shield compact, 32 Long, S&W mod 16, 38 spec, Smith&Wesson 38/44. Oh forgot, 1917 Savage in 32 ACP, think that is it! I reload everything but the 410 just don't have room now for another press. Got quite a bit of ammo on hand though!
 
I have to amend my list again to add the 450 Bushmaster.
 
Well I am now setup to reload all of these:
12ga
16ga
.45 ACP
.38sp
.357mag
.30-30
.223
9mm Luger
.380 auto

So far I have not tried to reload for the .380 auto, and I have not made very successful .30-30 loads either.

My best efforts have probably been with the .223 rifle and the shotguns, but everything else seems to work quite well.
 
Since I posted in March I have added a Marlin .22 mag rifle, bought at an auction, 12 guage Mossberg 500, also at an auction, and most recently 45-70 Henry last week as a birthday present.

The Mossberg was in pitiful condition cosmetically, it is a project in the works.
