As I don't know too many here, I thought this might be a good subject to break the ice.
Most of my loading is for rifles. I'm currently loading for a 45/70, .444 Marlin, 7mm-08, .223, .44 mag., .357 mag., and the .45 Colt. I have one new Ruger #1S in 7mm Rem Mag, a early Christmas present from my wife, that I'm looking to start loading for. I also have a deposit on a .280 Rem that I will be loading for in the not too distant future. One that I've been debating on whether to load or not, is the 7.62 X 54R. The ammo is so cheap that I haven't loaded for it yet, but I'd like to use it for a foul weather deer rifle. Another that I'm looking forward to getting and loading for is a medium bore, probably a .338 Win Mag.

I load for the 270 win. 30-06, 45-70, 44 mag., 35 rem, and soon 7mmsaum. The deer I took this year was the first one I've ever killed with a factory load.
 
While the factory ammo continues to get better all the time, there is still something special when your own loads work. I guess you spend so much time tweaking the loads, it's like the reward at the end of a good job. I took a deer with my 45/70 for the first time this year.
