Another question that could be posed is
What cartridge did you you start reloading with?
For me, it was the 30-06 Springfield -- the BEST all around cartridge in the world
First for reloading was 12 ga.
Second was 7mm RM.
Yesterday I ordered dies and brass for numbers 25 and 26 - .327 Federal and .32 H&R Magnum. Wife doesn't like the recoil for .327 loads but full-house .32 H&R are fine.
Just went through my dies (and the ones on order) to count:
.32 H&R Mag
.327 Fed
.380 ACP
.38 Spl
.357 Mag
9mm Luger
.44 Mag
.223
5.56
.22-250
.243 Win
.257 Roberts
6.5 CM
6.5-06AI
.270 Win (for Daughter #1)
.280 Rem
7mm RM
.300 BLK
.30-30
.308 Win
7.62x51 Nato
.30-06
.300WM
.338WM
.375 Win
.45-70
Have to say the .308 Win is my favorite to reload. I get higher throughput rates when trimming .308 brass than any other, much higher than some and perhaps most. The width of the mouth and the short case seem to help with alignment so they go through the trimmer with fewer issues. (Converted my RCBS hand crank to power driven with a variable speed drill. Works great with a rate of 400 to 450 .308s an hour, including deburr and chamfer.)
