Wow some of you have quite a lot of different ammo to stock.
Mine:
22lr.
9mm.
9mm. makarov
5.56 / 223
.45acp
12 gauge

That is it.
I reload all but .22lr and 12 gauge.
I used to have a few more but trimmed down for ease of inventory.

I'm surprised at the lack of older cartridges, no 6mm Rem or 222 Rem to name a couple then some I'd consider real odd balls. I might of missed it but I think I have the only wildcats. Few belted magnums or Short Mags. I saw several on my want list, 280 Rem. and 35 Wayland.

I used to have a 6mm Rem and later had it rechambered to 6mm-06 because it was a long action Sako and because I liked lighting up the chronograph with impressive numbers. I also used to form cases for the 350 Rem mag from every other longer belted magnum but mostly I used 338 win mag because that was the easiest.

I've also re-formed 8mm Lebel pistol brass from 357 magnum cases which was a difficult job but I only needed six cases to be able to shoot the gun and then reload the cases. by 35 Wayland I assume you mean 35 Whelan. Or is there something called the 35 Wayland that I've never heard of?

The 35 Whelan is technically no longer a wildcat. And as far as case capacity, it's nearly identical to the 350 Remington mag and both are great cartridges for north American game from mice to moose. My 350 even shot well with 357 mag pistol bullets. I like all the 35's and have always wanted a 358 Norma mag. I also like the new 375 Ruger because it can be chambered in standard action rifles. The 375 and 416 Ruger cases are based on the European 8x68 case.

I'm up to 33 now. I keep remembering things. Last one was the Johnson Spitfire; haven't shot that since one of the challenges last year.

I keep it real simple. Right now just one....9mm. I use to have two but no longer have a 40.

.40, .357sig, 10MM, .38spc/.357mag (revolver, will be reloading for both rounds shortly), 5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R (I think that's it, it's a mosin). 12 gauge.
As juch as I want to eliminate one of the above (either sig or 10MM, for simplicity of reloading), it's likely just ginna grow. Still really want a 300BLK and also maybe a 9milly pocket gun like a 43
