7mm Rem Mag
375 H&H Mag
350 Rem Mag
9.3x62 Mauser
450 Marlin
6.5x55 Swedish
6.5x54 Mannlicher Schoenauer
30-40 Krag
30-30 Win
I have reloaded the following for others:
300 Win Mag
300 WSM
458 Win Mag
458 Lott
357 Mag
450/400 3 1/4 Nitro Express
41 Mag
45 Long Colt
store bought have gotten pretty damn good but pricey. if you have a finicky rifle you cant tweak a store bought load to make the over all length longer or shorter,or a tad more or less powder, or a different primer. store bought makes one round that will work in any gun of that caliber, handloads are specific to one gun. yes handloading supplies are becoming harder to find (especialy primers) and more expensive, especialy for premium bullets and match grade brass and primers, but it is still cheaper than store bought. if your gun shoots store bought well and you can afford it stick with it. I do think however that with enough effort you can improve upon store bought if you are a totaly anal german zen accuracy nut doing it for the satisfaction not the $$$, like me.
