[QUOTE="AlphaDogs, post: 1904898, member: 114216"] Suggest you folks get sales figures on reloading die and rifle sales. The tired old 300 WinMag outsells all the shorties. RCBS puts out annually a list of previous years die sales - here's two years together. I have edited this list from RCBS in 2009 and put the ranking of each caliber in the 2005 RCBS list in bold behind. #1 .223 Remington [B]3[/B] #2 .45 ACP [B]7[/B] #3 9mm Luger [B]17[/B] #4 .40 S&W [B]21[/B] #5 .308 Winchester [B]4[/B] #6 .30-06 [B]2[/B] #7 .357 Magnum/.38 Special (roll crimp) [B]12[/B] #8 .243 Winchester [B]5[/B] #9 .270 Winchester [B]8[/B] #10 .22-250 Remington [B]6[/B] #11 .44 Magnum/.44 Special [B]10[/B] #12 .300 Winchester Magnum [B]9[/B] #13 7mm Remington Magnum 13 #14 .45 Colt [B]14[/B] #15 .223 Remington (Small Base) #16 .30-30 Winchester [B]20[/B] #17 .204 Ruger [B]1[/B] #18 .25-06 Remington [B]16[/B] #19 .380 Auto #20 7mm-08 Remington [B]22[/B] #21 .45-70 [B]15[/B] #22 .300 Winchester Short Magnum [B]11[/B] #23 .270 Winchester Short Magnum [B]19[/B] #24 .357 Magnum/.38 Special (taper crimp) #25 .300 Remington Ultra Magnum [B]23 You'll note the 2 shorties slipped a lot from 05' to 09' ----- Imagine 10 years later !
