What cartridges do you load for?
« on: July 12, 2018, 08:38:18 PM »
I thought it would be interesting to go back and look at how many different chamberings I've loaded for over the years. Here's an almost complete picture of the rifle cartridges I've worked with in the last 15 years or so. I didn't include chamberings for rifles I had in my possession for an extended period of time while doing load work for them. I also left out handgun/revolver rounds.



In order from left to right:

351 WSL
221 Fireball
22 Hornet
220 Russion
6.5 Grendel
6mm BR
6.5 BRX
30 Herrett
270 AR
50 Beowolf
222 Rem
7 TCU
223/5.56
17 Rem
222 Rem Mag

6.5x55
338x284 Win
6.5x284 Win
284 Win
30x284 Win
7.62x54R
300 WSM
350 Rem Ma
6mm Satan (6x55 Swede Improved)
7mm Mauser
444 Marlin
375 JDJ
348 Win
30-40 Krag
25-06
270 Win
30-06
338-06
35 Whelen
280 Rem
458 Win Mag
7mm Rem Mag
338 Win Mag
308 Norma Mag
7mm Weatherby
338/375 Ruger
375 Ruger
264 Win Mag
300 Win Mag
338 RUM
6.5 Bdger
458 Lott
270 RUM
7mm RUM
375 RUM
300 Weatherby
375 H&H
416 Rem Mag
338/378 Weatherby
375 BME
416 Rigby
50 BMG

Not included because I just forgot to grab them:
22-250
260 Rem
6x47 Lapua
270 WSM
458 Arnold
338 Edge
338 Big Baer (338/408 Cheytac Improved)

I've got a buddy who says he's going to kill me in my sleep to steal my reloading log books.  :chuckle:

The 7mm Rem Mag was a couple years ago so that one was a 160gr Accubond over IMR 7828ssc. The 243 was a 115 Berger and Retumbo.

Too many to remember. I become bored with factory chamberings 20 years ago. Can’t even keep track of the wildcats I have or have in the works.

I think the next list will be to go through my stack of reamer prints. I'm always a little annoyed when a "new" factory offering comes out that's almost a dead ringer for something I drew up years earlier. By the time I get around to having them made, there's already something darn close getting released by some company.

You’d slum it with a small bore like your 7.21 Sage when you could use a 375 BME? :chuckle:
