I tend mostly to the older cartridges. Some of these I haven't loaded in a couple of years or more, but still have all the dies (and guns, save one).

In some sort of order----

Rifle:

.218 Bee ~ .222 Rem ~ .222 Rem Mag ~ .220 Swift ~ .25-20 ~ .30-30 ~ .30-06 ~ .303 Enfield ~ .32 Special ~ .32-20 ~ .35 Rem ~ .35 Whelen ~ .38-55 ~ .44-40 ~ .45-70

6.5MM Carcano ~ 7X57 ~ 7.5MM Swiss ~ 7.65MM Argentine ~ 8MM Lebel ~ 8X57 ~ 8mm-06

Several wildcats of my own design that didn't amount to much of anything.:?

 

Pistol:

.38 Special ~ .357 Mag ~ .38-40 ~ .41 Long Colt ~ .45 Colt

9MM Parabellum

 

Shotgun:

12 Gauge ~ 20 Gauge

I'm sure I've forgotten some, but I don't post from home and have to rely on my rapidly failing memory.

These days most of my reloading efforts go into rifles.   223,   22-250,   270Win,   308.

For handguns I load 44Spcl,   44Mag,  and some 45Colt.   I used to load for 38/357,   9mm,   40S&W  and 10mm,  but not much anymore. 

I think I need to get some new rifles in different chamberings.

Timber... (dang it, Handload), sorry for the late response but I was out of town the past few days.

My father has had a love hate relationship with the .300 Weatherby over the past 5 or 6 years.  Things changed dramatically and I mean DRAMATICALLY when he changed from Fed 215M primers to Winchester Mag primers.  That gun seems to shoot whatever you feed it now.  I don't know any specifics as far as powder charges, but RL-22 is the powder of choice with Win Mag primers.  He has some good loads with 150 gr Barnes tripple shock, 165 Nos BT, 180 gr Hornady RN, and the best load 190 gr Hornady BT (with this load, the bullet sits out so far that he has to clip some of the lead nose off to fit it in the magazine, so I guess he turns it into a 187 gr protected point - ha ha).
