Hi everyone,
In looking back through my records I realized I've reloaded for quite a few calibers now and I thought it would be interesting to hear from folks and see what kind of a list we can compile. I bet among us we've got most of them covered. I worked at a gunshop years ago and had the opportunity to reload for myself and friends in the following calibers; 22 Hornet, 222 Rem., 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 6 mm Rem, 257 Roberts, 25-06 Rem, 270 Win, 7 mm Mauser, 7 mm Rem Mag, 30-30 Win, 308 Win, 30-06 Sprg, 300 Win. Mag, 338 Win Mag, 35 Rem, 444 Marlin, 30 Herrett, 38 Special, 357 Mag, 9mm Luger, 44 Mag., 20 gauge & 12 gauge shotshells.
My first job out of high school was at a gunshop. Since I lived at my parent's house and had a scholarship to college, you guessed it, I spent all my money on shooting! I've never had very many guns at a time, but I've enjoyed reloading for one for a while then trading it and trying something new.
Are there any I traded that I wish I'd kept? Yep- the
25-06 (Rem 700), the 35 Rem ( Marlin 336 ) and the 444 (Marlin 444). It's been fun though! :biggrin: ID
