Are there any other reloaders on the site. I reload all my own ammo, primarily handgun in .327 Federal, .357 mag,10Mmm .45ACP, .44 Special and magnum, I only reload one rifle caliber and that is .22Hornet because it is so damn expensive to buy. Just curious how many reloaders we have here.
 
I reload: 38, 357, 44, & 223. I started back in the early '70's reloading .256 Win. Mag for a Contender and then onto 44 mag and shot shells.
 
I reload nearly everything I shoot. I will occasionally buy a box of factory stuff if I’m testing something new. I haven’t loaded any shotgun shells in a long time but I still have the ability to.

To me, hand loading is a great hobby in and of itself. I have been known to go to the range and shoot up a bunch of ammo so I can have something to load.

I also shoot several wildcat and improved cartridges so loading those is a must.

I started loading in the early ‘70s for a .22 Hornet and just kept going from there. I have been collecting reloading equipment for years and that has evolved into yet another hobby. Between my antique powder scales and my similar obsession with old ElPaso Weaver scopes I’ve become overcrowded with “stuff”. I really need to thin it out a little 🤣
 
My dad started me out reloading for him at an early age. I started to reload custom ammo for a sporting goods store in Boulder, CO when I was in my middle teens. Now, I reload for over twenty cartridge calibers and all shotgun gauges except 28 ga. I have three unique cartridges that I must reload for. I want to get into lead bullet and round ball casting too, already have all the stuff, so, when time permits.
 
I mainly focus on reloading rifles. I've been working with .308, .223, and 6.5 Creedmoor, and I’ve even dipped my toes into .300 Blackout. I started out with pistol calibers, but once I discovered the precision side of rifle loading, I was hooked.
