Favorite caliber?

[double-dipper]

Another vote for .22LR. what's not to love? everyone from Kids to old guys and gals can all handle the recoil. Cheep to shoot and who doesn't have fond memories of plinking all afternoon with a .22?

I do have a least favorite caliber, and it is 9mm. I shoot a lot of .38/.357, and it's the only handgun caliber smaller than .40 that I shoot. For revolvers, it's .38/.357 and .41. For semi's, I shoot .40S&W, 10mm Auto and .45 Auto. I plink sometimes with .22LR and .22MRF. I own two 9mm pistols, might as well sell them for all the use they get.

Only shoot three rifle calibers, .308 Win, 300BLK and 6.5mm Grendel. I do have a 7.62x54R, but it's rarely shot.

in auto pistols .45 acp. in revolvers .357/38. In a rifle I like the 30-30.

They make calibers other than 460 S&W Magnum, who knew.

 

[Pistolero1911]

In a rifle: .308 / 7.62 x 51mm; .223 / 5.56 x 45mm and .220 Swift
In a revolver: .357/.38 and .45 Colt
In a pistol: .45 ACP, 10mm, 9mm and .32 ACP

In all three: .22 LR

Favorite Caliber?
Thats an easy one......., what gun am I fondling at the moment.
You didn't really expect me to pick one did you?

I hate them all cuz they cost me money! I now shoot more .9mm than anything else but I love .44 sp. .45 auto and .38 Sp. followed by .357 and .44Mag. I also love .22 and shoot it quite a bit as well.

 

[zzclancy]

44 special. It's a cult thing just like Harley Davidson.

I belong to both cults.

 

[two-bit cowboy]

No doubt about it. .38 Special. Chiefs Special, Bodyguard, Centennial, and Victory.

I carry a .357, but I don't shoot .38 Specials in it.

Hands down the venerable 45 Colt. I'm primarily a hangun hunter (Skeeter Skelton, Elmer Keith, and Bob Milek screwed me up at a young age.) This cartridge is the 30-06 of handgun rounds, it shoots practically anything you choose to feed it with excellent accuracy, from mild to full throttle. In a strong revolver like a Ruger Blackhawk it will leave a 44 Mag hanging it's head in shame. Don't get me wrong, the first centerfire hangun I ever owned is a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 I've had since 1976, and it's been the demise countless deer, coyotes, and small game. But my nearly as old Blackhawk 45LC can be handloaded to levels, mild or wild, the 44 mag can't match.

 

[ericrlarson]

22 long rifle by far.

Either 38 special or 9 mm Luger.

 

[75Vette]

As long as it starts and ends with a 4.

 

[Golphin]

Either 45 acp or 38 special

 

[ruger 22]

If I were young and still hunted and worked it would be 9mm carry, 38 special back up for handguns, and 270 for rifles and 12 ga for shotguns.
Now being retired my choices are 22lr for handguns, 22 for rifles and my defense 12 ga. For centerfire handguns it is my trusty old 38 which I pocket carry.

 

[dwh]

All of them! Since I reload, sometimes the oddballs are more fun. It's the challenge of keeping old guns shooting.

 

[JohnRippert]

.22LR, followed closely by .357 Magnum

 

[heeter3]

I like the.38 special in all of its various configurations and I have 11 beauties that fire that round.

 

[StrawHat]

My favorite caliber in handguns is 45. The cartridge, the 45 ACP, specifically the 45 ACP revolver. After that, it is a toss up between the 38 S&W Special and the 32 S&W Long. But those last two combined account for less than 5% of my shooting.

It's hard for me to pick one caliber overall. If I had to choose only one it would be .22LR. Otherwise my list is below!

Revolvers -.38+P
Levers- .357 mag
1911- 45 acp or 9mm
Anything else! -.22LR
