I know that I answered this before in the past even though I do not reload, I never reloaded and I do not plan on reloading.
I answered this for my husband in the past since he has reloaded for over 40 years.
He has changed some more of this firearm calibers.
He only owns and shoots ONE handgun caliber now - 45acp.
He reloads for these calibers:
45acp
.223
30-06
45-70
and
30-30 for now...
I do not know if he will keep his one and only 30-30 rifle (CT Marlin 336SS) down the road and he is using up more of his reloading supplies for that rifle.
His reloaded ammunition is more accurate than factory ammunition. He can make various loads for specific applications and he really LIKES that when it comes to reloading. He gets a great deal of satisfaction in his shooting and hunting just as much as he did when he competed in the past. Now that he is retired and going to the range on an almost daily basis... reloading brings even more JOY to his shooting.
I am happy for him and I am proud of him. He IS an outstanding shooter.
Right now, he is shooting his two .223 bolt action rifles and his two 45-70 rifles the most. Plus he is shooting that CZ Scout (22lr) of his more often even though he tends to be more of a CF shooter!

Added more.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

I reload for almost everything I own. But I guess you do that when you own 41Mags and 6.5 Carcano. Oh, I also have a license to reload ammo. I've been doing that for 36+ years now.

Atlas, who issued your license to reload ammo? I've never heard of that.n64atlas wrote:... I also have a license to reload ammo. I've been doing that for 36+ years now.

The ATF. In order to load for anyone other than your family, you are required by ATF to have at least an 06 FFL. People tend to not do this and load for their friends, but the Federal Firearms laws are clear on this.

Reloading is the only way I can afford to shoot as much as I do. 38 spcl, 41 mag, 45 lc, 223, 270 win, 30-30, 38-55, 444. So much fun!
I love all God's creatures, some are better with gravy.

Re: Survey for Centerfire Henry Owners
I sure do. I'm never satisfied with what I can buy off the shelf. 95% of my shooting is slow and quiet, and reloading is the only way I can get the results I want.
