Handloading: How Many ?

[del2les]

Ever so often, we ask readers how many cartridges do you load for, and since we have several new members since the last time I saw it asked, how many do you load for and are you adding or decreasing numbers? Anything very unusual, very rare or of other interests?

 

[Rich Coyle]

Recently I added 6.5 RPM dies. I had to order custom to get them on the way so they would be here about the time the rifle gets here. I load for three others.

 

[ShtrRdy]

I have the "fixins" to load for 15 different cartridges but currently I'm loading for 4. Mostly to create ammo for practice.

 

[Stirling]

I load for 5 rifle and 2 pistol.

 

[Ross1147]

I reload for 10 rifle and 3 pistol. I find it more of a relaxing pastime and hobby for me. Usually I focus on certain guns depending on the time of year. So at any given time I may be actively reloading for 3 or so.
