A bunch!

 

My "collection" of guns is guns I like but in calibers that don't repeat. That is I have few guns of the same caliber. I have guns from 17HM2 to 45-70 with just about all the major players in the middle. That was my goal from the beginning... Cover the spectrum of cartridges. I reload for over 30 different cartridges. I also have a couple I don't reload for like 25ACP, 7.62x39, 7.5mm Swiss.

RIFLE: 45-70, 30.06, 308, 8mm, 7.62X54, 7mm08, 30-30, 223, 204, 22Mag, 22LR, 17HMR, 17Mach2

HANDGUN: 45Colt, 44mag, 45ACP, 40S&W, 357, 38, 9mm, 380, 32, 25acp, 7.62X25, 5.7X28

SHOTGUN: 12 gauge and .410 bore

I should have voted 16+, I voted before I started really thinking about them. I do not reload all of them of course, but you didn't ask what I reloaded!

 

I voted in the 4-7 category, as 6 is my number. I have enough .45 and 12 gauge ammo to build a perimeter of dead zombies around the house. I have enough 9mm and .38 so the wife can keep firing while I'm reloading. Enough .30-06 because I like the reach. And enough .22 to arm a small third world country.

But seriously - I've got a lot more ammo than I can carry, and I keep buying it whenever I see a good deal. Reason being, I got caught short in 2009 and all those empty shelves scared me.

Always good to have the right gun for any occasion ...

I voted in the 8-15 category. Im at 15 including my shotguns

 

shotguns..12,20 and 410

handguns...22,9mm, 357 mag, 45 lc, we shoot 38 spec in the 357 and 410 in 45 lc. (its a tarus judge)

derrenger..45 lc

rifles..none yet..gave what we had to 2 sons..replacing in near future with 357 lever action and 454 casuel lever action

 

I screwed up and didnt even think about my long guns or the shotguns so only voted in the 4 7 range which is what I have in the way of pistaos that I reload. start adding the others in there and the total comes up a bit higher.

22 380 9mil 38spl 357 40 44mag 45acp

12ga 26ga 20ga 410ga still looking to get a nice 28ga just to round them out a bit.

I only reload for my pistols not the long guns.

 

8mm Rem mag, 300 Win mag, 45-70, 30-06, 30-30, 308, 7mm mauser, 7mm STW, 7mm Weatherby mag, 7mm Rem mag, 6mm Rem, 25-06, 270, 22-250, 223, 222, 22lr.

45 acp, 357, 38 special, 44 mag, 380, 9mm,

12 gauge, 16 gauge, 410.

 

22 calibers and gauges but I don't own a .380 pistol so I have one more caliber of ammunition than I do own in calibers and gauges of guns. When, not if but when I get one I will already be good to go for ammo.

 

right now its 4. All pistols, .357 magnum, 9mm, .22 and .45

 

Right mow I'm at five calibers but am hoping to expand.

 

Im at five calibers, under ten guns. I'd like to have more guns, but LOVE ammo just as much, even before the "shortage".

Wow. I been tellin' folks, for years, I load 35 calibers, and I count 42. Discounting the 3 rimfires, and that leaves 39. Where'd them other four come from?

Should I add the 36, 44, 45 and 50 caliber cap-n-ball guns?

edit: Was just looking at my inventory, and discovered I'd forgotten the 454. Makes 43 calibers, and 40 I reload.

 

Rifle - 223, 308, 22LR
Handgun - 357, 380, 45ACP
Shotgun - 12

I have begun my schooling for loading rifle 223 cartridges now. Soon to be loading 45ACP handgun and will drop back and load 308. I have 12 and 20 ga. progressive presses - those I will do some time later.

I did vote, but maybe a better questions would have been "how many are too many?" One can never have to many unless you just havent got the room to store them.

 

right now im at 5 calibers. i have a desire to have a bunch more though. i've always liked the idea of having a handgun in every caliber.... but i also like certain handguns in various calibers and have no problem with duplicate calibers. i have 2 22 handguns now... and desire another.

i'd like both a ruger p95 and a glock 17. both 9mm. i like both guns. i want a marlin or winchester lever gun in 45/70. dont have a brand preference, but want the caliber. so it's fair to say i love both gun and caliber.

i think that reloading will play a large roll in what calibers a person buys or avoids. i know i would not buy a 41 magnum or a 10mm, or even a 44 mag if i didnt reload.

 

If I buy different guns, I want them to be in different calibers. What is the point in owning three different rifles all in the same caliber? Same with pistols and shotguns. After all, variety is the spice of life!

 

SHOTGUN - 12 ga, .410 - don't reload for .410
RIFLE - .22LR, .223, .243, .270, 6.5x55, .30-30, .30-06, .303, .30 cARBINE - don't reload the rimfire

PISTOL - .22 LR, .22 Mag, 9mm, .38 and .357, .40 SW, .45 acp - don't reload the rimfire

BLACK POWDER - .36, .44, .45, .50

20 calibers, 2 rimfires and a .410 not reloaded. I guess I reload 17 calibers currently - of course I need to add a .44 Mangle'um and a .45 LC to the pistol line so that will up it again.

 

Black Power - .36
Shotgun - 12ga
No rifles in the collection
Pistols - .22, .380, 7.62x25, 9mm, .45ACP

 

I voted in the 8-15 category. Im at 15 including my shotguns

I voted in the same catagory, but after thinking about it some more I should have voted in the 16+ catagory. I have so many that sometimes I have to get up and go count them to know just how many I have! My wife might be right when she says that I have to many guns. I keep telling her that there is no such thing as to many guns! I am now wondering if I am trying to convience her, or myself????

 

Black Power - .36
Shotgun - 12ga
No rifles in the collection
Pistols - .22, .380, 7.62x25, 9mm, .45ACP

Oops, I didn't even consider my muzzle-loaders..... that would bring my total up to 25..... and I have already "consolidated" over the past few years

 

the calibers that I reload are noted in bold type.

22 LR, 17 HMR, 9MM LUGER, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, 45 COLT, 45 ACP,
