Pretty darn good tabs, but you erred on one and missed a couple. The biggest black powder case is a .45-2.6, aka .45-100. There is a .458 Winchester Magnum between it and the .45-70's, and a .44 Special between the .44 mag and .45 ACP's.

Not every single one of them; just the ones currently with finished ammo that I actually reload. There are too many others to keep up with, so many cases just sit empty. Somethimes for a decade or more. There are also muzzle loaders, .22's, and scatter guns not accounted for. Then there are those I don't bother relading for, like 9mm Parabellum, .32 ACP, .30 carbine, etc. You could say it's gotten out of hand...

While I won't divuldge how many firearms I own, I will show y'all a sampling of calibers for which I reload. You will notice some obviously have more than one load, with different bullets seated in the same cases (.45 Colt, .45 ACP, .220 Swift, .30-06, .45-70, etc.). Some are fired in different guns, some in the same gun for different purposes (hunting vs. plinking vs. match shooting). Some are smokeless powder, some are black powder (.45 Colt, .45-70, .45-2.6). All cast bullets are produced in my own molds from Lyman, RCBS, Saeco, Paul Jones, LBT, Hoch, and others. Bullet lubes are home made.

Now that is the Jeff I know!!!! One should never release the number one owns or where they are stored

True story; I guy(Caesar) I worked for when I got out of college escaped Cuba when Castro took over. He was pretty well off in Cuba and had a large gun collection. Well, when Castro made his big push, and the poop hit the fan, a guy, whom Caesar had considered a close friend, showed up at his home, when Caesar opened the door, his friend put a gun to his head and showed Castro's guys where then guns were and then told Caesar to leave or die. Well, when he got to the states, he didn't have a dime to his name, when he passed about 10 years ago, he had build several very successful businesses. I learned a lot from this man who came to this country with nothing.
