    Since Saturday I've loaded 650 rounds of 38 special, 100 rounds of 40's, 200 rounds of 20 guage and working on getting to that 400 mark. Also I've sorted 3/4 of a 5 gallon bucket of brass, 45's, 9mm, 40's.

    I don't reload so much in the good weather. Winter, after deer season ends until it gets nice in the Spring is my major time for reloading. I use a single stage press so 50-150 is a good evening's work depending on what else is going on. Last winter I did mostly .38 wadcutters and 9mm for target practice. This winter I have a lot of 9mm, .223 and .308 to reload but I haven't counted it yet.

    This summer has been more hectic since the wife and son and really gotten involved shooting on the weekends too. Over the past weekend, wife helped load (800) 9mm's. I also loaded (200) .45 ACP's and (200) .357 sig's.

    Calibers I currently load in order of most to least are...

    9mm
    .357 Sig
    .45 ACP
    .40 S & W
    .38 special
    .357 Mag
    .44 Mag

    Dad does the most reloading, but I've helped him with everything, so that would be...

    .223
    .22-250
    7.62x39
    7mm Rem. Mag.

    .380
    9mm
    .38 Spcl
    .357 Mag.
    .40
    .45 Auto
    .44 Mag

    12 ga.

    9mm and .223 get loaded the most, but have cooled off a lot lately, haven't been shooting nearly as much.
    Hounding him to let me help clean off the workbench so I can get some 9mm loaded for myself...

    5 presses? Good god man, how do you tell them apart. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Dillon 550 to make life a bit easier.

    25 or 30, I'd have to go through my loading dies to be exact. I load ammo with all of them and shoot them all during the year though. :rolleyes: Now there are a few rounds that don't quite get the volume of some others. I think I've probably only shot my 416 Rigby 20 times or so this summer for example. OTOH even my 375H&H has seen a couple of 50 round boxes loaded up and shot. I have enough of them none of my rifle rounds get multiple hundreds in a year but they all see some. I don't think any get past 150-200 in a year. Handguns get more of course but not like they used to. I've been spending more range time with rifles & ML's the last few years.
