I'm thinking that I need to join calibers anonymous. :uhoh:
Just when I think I'm done another one starts to appeal to me.
Currently I handload the following:

9MM punybellum
.357 Sig (bottle neck case was to much hassle so I had to convert to 38 Super)
38 Super
38 Special
.357 Magnum
.40 short and weak
.40 Super (10MM for those into sillymeters)
.44 Special
.44 Magnum
.45ACP
.45 Colt

Have no interest in .380 ACP or anything smaller as the brass is to small for my pudgy fingers and I grew out of Magnumitis years ago so .454 Casull and up are also of no interest but you know that
.41 Magnum is a mighty interesting round, seems a shame I don't own one. I mean after all once I have a revolver, brass, dies, shellholder and bullets I would be all set. :what:

I shoot 9mm, 38, 357, 44 Mag. I only reload for 44 as 38 and 9mm are just too easy to buy and I don’t shoot a lot of 357.

Note that I didnt say less expensive I said easy. Loading takes time and it’s a labor of love. I don’t love it that much and my labor is expensive so I buy what costs less than the time I’m out for loading it.
 
9MM, 38 Special, .357mag, .41 mag, .44 Special, .44 mag, and .45 ACP. I also reload .211 FB, 22 Hornet and K-Hornet, .30 Herrett, 222 Rem and couple of others for a TC.
It's the old TC Contender and it is still a rip to shoot.

I buy ammo for the brass; I just enjoy reloading.
 
In handguns I load for the .38 S&W, .38 special, 357 magnum, 357 max, 40S&W, 45ACP, and 45 LC. In contender single shots I reload .222 Rem, 256 Win Mag, 30-30, and 375 win and 445 Super Mag.
 
.25 acp, .32 acp, 380, 9.65x18, 9x19, .38 spl, .357 mag, .357 Sig, .357 AMP, .40 S&W, .44 spl, .44 mag, .44 AMP, .45 acp, .45 Colt, .357/.44 B&D, .17 Rem, .221 Fireball, .250 Savage, 7-30 Waters, 7-08, .30-30, and .358 Win.

The last 7 are for T/C Contender and XP-100.
 
I frequently 44 special, 45 Colt, 45 ACP, and 38 special. I have on hand around 30 sets of dies and can load just about any pistol calibre and a few rifles.
 
.32 ACP, .32 Long, .32 Mag, .32-20, .380, 9MM, .38 Super, .38 S&W, .38 Special, .357 Mag, .400 Corbon, .40 S&W, .41 Mag, .44 Special, .44 Mag, .45 ACP, .45 ACP.
 
.22 long rifle (not reloaded of course, but shot with regularity)
.32 ACP *
.32-20 (really a rifle round) *
9x19mm Parabellum *
.38 Super
.38 Special *
.357 Magnum +
.40 S&W +
.44 Special
.44-40
.44 Magnum +
.455 Webley revolver +
.45 ACP *
.45 AR
.45 Colt

You asked about pistol rounds. The ones with asterisk I have dies and brass, but I'm on the verge of selling all the supplies and just buying the ammo in bulk. The rounds with the cross I neither shoot much or load much anymore. Sad to say, .357 Magnum used to be very dear to me, but I have little use for it these days.
 
9mm
38 Spl
357 Mag
360 DW (really for a single shot carbine)
41 Mag
44 Spl
44 Mag

Nothing very exotic or unusual. I shoot home cast almost exclusively.
With the exception of a few hundred full power 357 Mag and 44 Mag (which will last me for years) I load reduced rounds for casual or target shooting.
 
380 Auto
9mm
38 Special
357 Magnun
40 S&W
44 Rem. Mag.
45 ACP
45 Colt
460 S&W

357 Herrett for the T.C. Contender.

I load primarily 44 mag, followed by 9mm and then 460 S&W, the revolver rounds have actually been shot more this past season. Soooooo......
I know what I"ll be doing this winter............:)
Reloading and not shooting pistol rounds to disappear in the snow.
 
I feel like such an underachiever, I only load for 44 magnum and 45 acp at the moment, mainly 44. About to start with the 454 casull as soon as everything comes in. My rifle and shotgun gear has been collecting dust for a spell.
 
I load .380, 9mm, .38 special, 357 magnum, .40 S&W and .45 acp. I keep thinking about a 10mms revolver and since I already load .40, I wouldn't need new dies and bullets.
 
I generally load what I shoot. I have dies for .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, 38/357 Mag (as yet unused, but ready to start), 40 S&W, .45 ACP, .300 AAC Blackout, .458 Socom (unused since indoor range stopped me after 2 rounds). I’m pondering adding .223 Rem, except I only shot .223 so I could collect brass to convert to 300 Blackout. Only, now I have an abundance of Blackout cases.
 
38 Special
357 Magnum
44 Magnum
45 ACP
45 Colt
454 Casull
460 S&W Mag
50 AE
500 S&W Mag

I shoot a lot of 9mm and 40 S&W too and have the spent brass stockpiled. I just don't reload them...yet.
 
9mm
38spc
357 mag
40 S&W
44 mag
45 auto
And 223/5.56 since I have a "pistol" for it.

No longer married to the 380 owner so thats off the list.
 
.38 special
.357 mag
.40
.41 mag
.44 mag
.45 acp
I'll eventually dabble with
.41 and .44 special but right now I'm having fun with the magnums.
Still shooting stockpiled factory 9mm but I'm ready to load it when the time comes.
