I reload:
.380
9 mm
.30-06
.22-250
I'm waiting on my .223 dies to come in so I can start reloading it also. If the gunsmith can fix my old S&W, I'll be reloading 38 short too.

We can all use more funds for the toys which always seem to keep about 2 weeks ahead of the income....
When i first started loading the 223 for the AR15 i used pretty much IMR3031 powder which is about what was used from the start. I have since moved to the Hodgdon Bl-C2 for my rifle powder. Meters very good and gives me very good performance using 55 to 68gr bullets. I load 223, 308 and 30-06 with this powder.

Only one. Marlin 336T in 30-30.
Felt the need to simplify my life. Comes with growing older I guess.
I reloaded for over 45 years and can't remember all the calibers that I've loaded.
It's great fun. If you haven't tried it, I'd recommend it to anyone.

I use a 38, 357, 44, and several 45's. But because of the rise in cost have switched to using wax bullets. I joined the Cowboy Fast Draw and that's where I found out about them, and glad I did. Plus there safer, much much cheaper and the best part is I can now practice in my shop. I shoot about 200 a day. Don't think that they are not accurate because they are and they are just as lethal at close range as any. As a result of loading so many I invented a way to load 50 at a time in under one minute. I love to shoot and now I can without breaking the bank. I also like rifles and have a few, but the ammo is to high in cost to shoot the way I would like.

Give Hodgdon H335 a try. Meters great, a real good powder for the .223.We can all use more funds for the toys which always seem to keep about 2 weeks ahead of the income....

I started reloading .45 acp in 1979 with a Lee reloading kit using the hammer. Now I have moved Way up the food chain with the Dillon XL-650. Most of what I load is very forgiving, so the extra care that I take in QA/QC is likely unnecessary, but a job done well is it's own reward.
I reload, 38special, 357 mag, 9mm, 10mm, 41 mag, 44spl,44mag, 45acp, 45colt 223, 22-250, 308, 30-06, 375 winchester, . I am an avid handloader, I have targets set in my back yard at 25, 50, & 100yard, my backstop is a large mountain I test my rounds as I load & chrony each batch for consistancy. I also shoot some military rounds in 7.62x39 & 303 british but not enough to load
