Started almost 40 years ago with a Lee Loader. Have ungraded quite a bit since then but still use a Lee Loader on occasion.

"Hi my name is Alex. I reload".

I learned how from my dad about 30 years ago, but back then he was more than happy to do all of it.

I loaded my own pistol ammo back in the early 90's then didn't shoot for a while. Lost my two Rock Chucker't in the divorce.

Started back in about three years ago now. I run a Lee Turret with dies for .243, .223, .22PPC, .308 and .45ACP

Pet loads:
.243
39.1 grains Varget, 70 grain Sierra Blitzking
42.0 grains Varget, 58 Vmax

.223
24.5 Benchmark, 55 Vmax (20" AR)
24.6 Bencmhark, 50 Nosler Ballistic Tip (16" AR)

.22PPC
24.0 Benchmark, 52 Berger Match

Got back into reloading a couple years ago. Mostly now for tailoring hand loads. How about a big boomer for you guys...

208gr. A-Max over a stout pile of H-1000.
 
#86 I have been reloading for around 35 years, started with 357,7mm RM, and 243. I now have twenty-five or thirty sets of dies, still searching for the perfect caliber and I sure hope I never find it.
 
#88

I reload for:
.204 Ruger IMR 4895 35 g Berger
.223 Varget 62 g Berger
.243 Varget 60 g Berger & W760 95 g Berger VLD
7MM WSM In load development with 180 g Berger VLD
.308 Varget 168 g Berger VLD
.338 Lapua Mag Was using 300 g Lapua RL25 but just pulled em all because of pressure signs.

I have and try MOST of the powders for all my calibers, and as you can see keep coming back to Varget.

Also I tried most popular bullets and now most of my stuff is Berger.

Haven't been reloading for very long, so I haven't found a favorite load yet. But this is the majority of my plinking rounds.

24grns of H233-55gr varmint nightmare(SP)-.223/AR15

Reloading for about one year.
killed first coyote at the PM hunt with .223 55 gr. Nosler BT and Benchmark at 2850fps(per chrono). Not fur friendly. Just seems beter with something that I made.
Still working with Sierra, V-Max and Varget.
Will get to .270, 45ACP and 38sp. some day.

I know of others that reload but haven't posted here yet.
 
#94---
started about 35 years ago, and certainly got into it in the last 15-20 when I started shooting pistol more competitively and when I bought a Dillon 550b.

Can't remember the last time I bought factory rifle rounds.

I even hold a class every so often on reloading at my club.

Never heard of that before in a divorce! Only corvettes and a lake home maybe, lol. They sure know how to try to ruin a mans life, huh?

But no favs really, just love to sit and relax and try new stuff. Mostly .223, .22-250, 9mm, now 22 hornet.
