Posting for the first time today. I am into reloading and am working on the following
223
243
30-06
8x57
The 223 has been the easiest so far. Look forward to learning from you guys.

 Welcome bigblack pull up a stump, have a cool one and jaw a bit.
others that load the 223 and 06 will come along and throw a few words of wisdom in. I only load 243,30-30,7x57, and lots of 8x57 and 8mm wildcats.
So sit back and enjoy the festivities...Dave

I load .223, .308, .30-06 for semi-auto and bolt action rifle and .38/.357, .40 & .45 for handguns.
Reloading is as satifying to me as shooting. I don't have to explain why to anyone here.

I went to clean up a part of my worshop and I kept moving around a bunch of empty flip top boxes for my .38 spl and knocking them off the shelf. After picking them off the floor for the third time, I figured they would not fall over as easy if they were full so I cranked out 1000 wadcutters to hold them down. 
Yeah I am addicted too.
I load .223, .243, 30-06, .38/.357, 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 mag and a few other calibers on occasion. I shoot competetivley and hunt passionately so I burn up a lot of ammo.

Yeah.. most of us loads for a few different calibers, some more than others.
Some, well them crazies  like the Pumpkin guy, even loads on the field just before he shoots.. an' create a big man made fog around the shooter
