35 Remington
38 S&W and the English equivalents

There's a story I'd like to read. I've seen rifles that were converted to centerfire but, IIRC, empty centerfire cases were not available. I've never seen rimfire cartridges in shootable quantities.
Before I kick the bucket I want to reload 11 mm Mauser. That one is a lot easier.

Nobody mentioned the 455

this same question (Exactly) was posted 1-21-2016, here is the link: http://smith-wessonforum.com/lounge/460895-what-cartridges-have-you-fired.html?highlight=calibers+load+for%3F
As a matter of fact that thread was started by Backlighting too!!!
My response was post # 57 In that thread. There are not many posts in that thread that have as few cartridges as OP listed in the starter for this thread!

Impressive list
Any person who has shot a 100 rounds or more of .458 Winchester Magnum has my respect—A couple from a double rifle have lasted me a lifetime!

The Swiss ammo was never around in any quantity in the 80's, I just wandered around the OGCA shows looking. Dealers would have 2 or 3 rounds and I would buy the for a buck for the 2 or 3. the 32 Short RF was the same way, but every show I would go home with 25 or 30 of each and that kept me shooting.
The Italians used a Velliti rifle that was center fire, It looked about the same as the Swiss one. I have one that was converted to 6.5 Carcano for WWI, one of my few rifles that I have ammo for but refuse to fire!
11 Mauser reloading, I can help if your interested, PM me.

Heh, I'll shoot 100 a weekend right before bird season so hopefully i dont need to shoot but once a bird, and take my limit.
My list
22lr, short, and magnum
.38 special
9mm luger
.410,20,16, and 12 guage
Have shot a total of 3 10 guage shells out of an old h&r topper.... cured me of that idea pretty quickly.

I hate to admit it, but I have fired close to 100 rounds of 12 GA on a one day Dove Shoot.
That usually means you missed a lot!
One time I was E of Ft. Collins Looking for Pheasant Opportunities.
I’m on a gravel road and cross a fairly big irrigation ditch.
A pickup is parked on the bridge and there’s a guy on either side just blasting away.
I stop and look. They are shooting pigeons.
When they reload, I ask, why are you shooting these pigeons?
They say, We don’t like pigeons!
I noticed they were throwing the pigeons in their truck bed.
The next time they pause to reload, I ask why are you taking them with you?
We gonna feed them to hogs!
So I got our my 12 GA, shot a few and threw them into the truck.
That may be the day I shot the 3 Legged Squirrel.
I’ll tell that one another day.
It took me a long time to live that one down!

Is that 100 or more in a single session or lifetime?

To many to list,
My 72 mossberg bolt 30-06 closer to 1,000rds. Still accurate as in 72 great western auto $172 rifle with scope. Nickel sized groups at 100yds.
With the 1911 it’s 250rds per range outing. The rest I’m over 100rds per outing.

I'm getting a bit of a chuckle over some of the comments about shooting
10ga. My hubby was a big time waterfowl hunter, mainly for the big Canadian Geese. He had 2 10ga shotguns, one was an Italian O/U and the other a Browning BPS. He followed the geese from Canada to Arkansas several years. That figured out 500-1000 rounds of 3 1/2 in 10ga hot loads each year. Never heard him complain.

Multiple 1000's of everything I own.......100's don't even scratch the surface. I have 2 Dillons(multi-caiber changes), 4 MEC's in 4 guages and an RCBS all setup and run as needed...........I feed the fish!
