There's an economy of scale with reloading. I don't know the exact figures, but once you've made the initial investment in equipment and tools, adding more dies saves more money. That's my theory, anyway ;-)
 
222, 223, 22-250, 220 Swift, 243 Win, 6mm Rem, 257 Roberts, 25-06, 6.5x55 Swedish, 270 Win, 280 Rem, 7mm Mauser, 7mm Rem Mag, 30 carbine, 7.62x39, 30-30, 308 Win, 30-06, 300 Win mag, 303 British, 7.65 Argentine, 8mm Mauser, 348 Win, 35 Whelen, 375 Win, 45-70, 458 Win mag, 32 ACP, 380 ACP, 9mm Lugar, 38 Spec, 357 mag, 44 Spec, 44 mag, 45 ACP, 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 410 gauge
So I guess that's about 38 calibers.
 
I can't count that high!:uhoh: Um, err, I mean I don't feel like counting them all right now.

To what purpose is a question like this asked? If you want to see how LONG we've been loading, then THAT would be an interesting poll.
 
In handguns only (rifle is too long a list)

380 auto
9mm
38 super
38 special
38/44 HS
357 sig
357 mag
357 maximum
357 supermag
40 s&w
10mm
44/40
44 AMP
45acp
45rim

I am sure I forgot some....
 
I voted 5+, but that is I intend to. I only have dies for 2 calibers so far, but I don't have a full setup yet.

.30-06
.308 win
.30-30
9mm
.38 sp
.32 H&R mag

Not sure if I want to reload for the 7.62 x 39...

How many? Good qusetion but I never bother to count them until now, so pulled out the die storage drawers under one of my loading benches and started counting. Comes to 127 die sets but some are duplicates so only 112 calibers total. Not counting the 6 shotgun gauges. See photo of die drawers attached.
