If i tick the box in No 2 does it mean that I'm new or a competent reloader also for clarity I think the question should be "Do you reload?" the number of votes will then give an indication of the answer to your question.

So you might want to rethink and reword your questions somwhat Dave.

A bit more from me

I reload the majority of my ammunition.
I would class myself as a competent reloader with a good understanding of the process, I load for factory and wildcat chamberings.
I reload jacketed bullets only.
My knowledge or reloading cast boolits is very limited and purely based on what I have read on this forum.

Agreed it is difficult to do this as a poll so I have suplimented my poll reply with a written answer.

This will be an interesting thread if people add content as well ;)

Interesting results so far. I reload about 3000 rounds a year, mostly obsolete calibres, all with cast bullets, no gas checks. .43 Mauser, .577, .300, .310, 44-40, .297-25 and so on.
I don't shoot 357mag any more, but after the pistol ban I had a 357 lever action for a few years. I estimate that I have fired between 90 and 100 thousand 357 mags, and have still never fired a factory round.

I am just about to dip my toe into reloading, firstly 357 Mag, then on to 303/308. Need to sort out my Man Cave first then I'm good to go!

I am bricking it quite frankly :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
