Reloading Question.

As @NRA4LIFE said "I too just started reloading for 2 rifle calibers and it quickly spiraled out of control." I now load for everything I own, except rim fire. Three presses for metallic and four for shotgun.

  It’s definitely addicting. Started with a press for my then only rifle and 6yrs later I have four presses: single stage and progressive for metallic and shotshell, along with many more firearms.

That was me 30 years ago.

Started reloading at the age of 14.  A Lee Loader and small hammer.  Don't even want to know how much $$$$$$ I've got wrapped up now at 67

Like has been said, I reload for everything I shoot except rimfires!

And YES, firearms do have a liking for different bullets and powders.  Brass not so much.   I have one rifle that will shoot round nose better then any spritzer I've put through it.  So I only use round nose to in it.  Had a rifle that hated 120 gr bullets but would put 115 in one hole.

The FUN of reloading, can't beat it!!

Kind of funny, when I started in 1987 and lived near St. Louis, there were only a couple manufacturers whose bullets were readily available, Hornady and Speer.  Then in the very early '90s, Sierra opened their plant in Sedalia, MO.  My buddy and I would go out there usually once a year to buy their seconds, and basically just goof off.  I still use some of the same Hornady bullets to this day that I started off with.

Best policy is don't shoot someone else's reloads. Maybe your dad or something. But the fact that someone else could make a mistake and you get hurt because of it means it's a real bad idea.

As said before not all reloaders are of equal skill and some rifles take longer than others to.fomd the correct powder and bullet combinations. I have one rifle that shoots anything I've put through it so far very well and another that took me a year to find something it liked.

Some people aren't made for reloading too. Need to pay attention to details.

WOW, thanks for all the feedback from everyone.      I don't really shoot enough anymore to reload, and it makes good sense not to trust a reloader I don't know. And since 1moa is good enough for my needs, I guess I'll just Bite The Bullet, and purchase the ammo I need.
