Not just calibers, but cartridges. How many different cartridges do you reload for? On top of that how many of each cartridge do you have a gun for that shoots/requires you to load different powders and/or bullets?

The DE is using the same frame, just changing out the mags and barrels

So this is very important to reload and why I do it.
 
You have quite a list of cartridges for which you load. Since I did this commercially for quite a few years, the list I would provide is extensive. I still have the remnants of an extensive history of loading with dies, shell holders, propellants, bullets and brass that far exceed what resides in my safes. It has been a fascinating life.
 
I load for myself along for my brother and son.
Lets see if I can remember them all.

Allows you to get up close and personal! (y) Don't even have to have a tenderizer. The meat will be mighty tender before ever you skin the critter.:unsure:

.44 mag
240 gr cast RNFP with Unique as a plinker, 240gr Nosler JSP with Viht N110 (though might revisit H110 now have magnum primers) and also am experimenting with a 180gr Peregrine Hog (non-lead hunting load) with N105

Considering reloading 12b Cervo / Thug slugs as well.
