Family Reunion

RL338 · Oct 9, 2022

I was reorganizing this morning and thought about what I all have. These are what I have for myself to load for.

I'd say you have a problem, but you know what they say about pointing a finger at someone.

Rol-P · Oct 9, 2022

Looks like you have something for every season.. Do you also load for family and friends? Very impressive collection. Thanks for sharing. Rol

Nice assortment RL.

And my family thinks I'm weird for actively reloading eight different rifle cartridges with the capability to reload ten.
Along with actively reloading five different handgun cartridges with the capability to reload nine.

NYDAN · Oct 10, 2022

That is quite the line-up. You must use just about every powder made for that assortment. Your personal inventory of bullets and powders probably match that of many LGS.

I think we must be family in some way...

DrMike · Oct 10, 2022

I'm getting a headache looking at all the cartridges! Impressive, to be sure.

TackDriver284 · Oct 10, 2022

That is quite a collection. With a collection that large, imagine how large your collection of powders, bullets, brass and primers can be.

Extensive...or is that expensive?

Oh my, we got RL338 and xphunter going head to head to see who has the most guns, any one else?

Nice collection xphunter, all those collections of guns makes me look poor.

There are some interesting wildcats and assortments of calibers like the 7mm-300 PRC and the 6.5 - 270, first I've seen.

Both, lol. And more time consuming on prep work.

Above is the 7mm-300 PRC with 190 grain Berger Hybrids.
The 6.5-270 WSM is also the 6.5-300 WSM and it is called the 6.5 Leopard. I have a couple of XP's in this chambering. Used to have a 6.5 SAUM barrel too, but it went the way of the world. My lightweight 6.5 Leopard barrels throat is in it's last days.
My heavy barrel 6.5 Leopard

Rear-Grip 6.5 Leopard
The rear grip is on a non-designated BAT action,
And I have this chassis stock, then I have the big wood rear-grip Benchrest stock. It is a switch barrel rear grip specialty pistol. 6.5 Leopard, 7 WSM, 7mm LRM, and 7mm-300 PRC.
