Which calibers

I narrowed down my calibers a few years ago, and really have not regretted it. I load 3 handgun cartridges and two for rifle. I still have the molds and dies for a bunch more but no components. It really keeps me from buying guns I don't need. "That one is very nice, but it's not in my caliber" and then on to the next one.
 
I like to keep my options open. While I certainly use some calibers more often than others, I have no reason to eliminate any from my stable. I'm relatively young but have learned that once something is gone you will usually want it back sometime or another....
 
I do have other calibers. 30-06, 223, 30-30,12ga,20ga and muzzlerloaders in 50 and 54. Just listed handguns. Thanks for all your thoughts. Sorry about not having a 45. 🔫
 
I'm just getting into reloading and currently pistol powder is like 22lr, very difficult to find. There's plenty-o-rifle powder, so maybe I'll have to buy a rifle to load for......maybe a 270 win or some such.
 
I don't mind variety at all and thoughts like "it's not my caliber" never stopped me from acquiring whatever I have an itch for at the moment :)
 
I never really had a mind to buy a .40. I have many others calibers so I never saw the need. However, I would NEVER be without a few .45acp variants!

I've thought about getting a Kahr PM40 from time-to-time, but seems like every time I have a few bucks in my pocket lately an ol' S&W revolver follows me home instead.:D
 
handguns are all my caliber, whatever they are. that said, since I don't shoot rifles much anymore I did cut those down to 10 and the handgun stuff to about 40.
 
Most of my reloading is done in 30 Mauser, 8mm Luger, 38 Special and 45 ACP for pistol calibers and 30-06, 223 and 8mm Mauser for rifle calibers. I reload for some 54 different calibers, but most of that is to keep historically interesting firearms active ( 6mm USN, 50-70 I have three rifles in that caliber!!!, 8X56R Hungarian, 7.65 Long French, etc).
