Favorite caliber?

[ImDrRich]

I mean, do you need to have a favorite caliber? Every time I think it's the 9mm, I go to my .38spl/.357 mag and the fun ensues. Then, when I go to my .45acp, I could shoot that all day.

Do you have a favorite caliber or is that rather unnecessary?

 

[Protocall_Design]

I like all of them. Each one seems the best while I'm shooting it. After shooting all the big bores and magnums out there (and loving every minute of it), I still have just as much fun with a .22 as when I started out. Each one is enjoyable in it's own way, to me.

 

[dave1918a2]

Whatever I happen to be shooting at the time.

 

[Frailer]

Gotta be .22LR.

 

[Ruger 13]

45/70 of course!

 

[Billylee]

I have two, 22, because I have the most ammo in that caliber and 38 special, because I have the most revolvers in that caliber. If I absolutely had to narrow it to one it would be 38 special.

 

[lppd4]

Too difficult of a decision I love the .45 acp, .40 S&W, 38/.357 mag and
.44/.44 mag

 

[jimmyj]

.45acp or any caliber that starts with a "4"

 

[scruffy]

.38 Special and .38+P is just right for me.

 

[STCM(SW)]

S&W .44 SPL.............

Good question. Depends on the week. This week
it's the 300 Winchester Short Magnum, next it
might be .38S&W Special.

The Best to you and your Endeavors.

 

[leonardocarrillo]

I have several weapons of different calibers but my favorites are:
for .357 Magnum revolver
for pistol: .45 acp
for rifle: .308 Winchester.

 

[GaryinOKC]

for shooting I like 22 and 32 SWL. For hunting 41 mag.

 

[CH4]

Tough question because I like most of them, but I'd probably go with the .38/.357.

 

[michael1000]

38/357 magnum or 44/44magnum

 

[Buford57]

.45 Colt (the long one).


Currently enjoying a 4" 25-5, a first Model Vaquero 5.5" and a Winchester 94.

 

[4thAlabama]

44 Special!!

 

[Fishinfool]

Some guns I enjoy shooting more than others, regardless of caliber. But, day in and day out, it's the .44 magnum in wheel guns, and the .45 acp in semi-auto's. If I didn't handload, my choices might be different? Naw, probably not...

[BIGDOC]

I go with .44 spcl.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

How to decide? First, like everyone else, my fave it what I am shooting that day. Since I dislike .44 Magnum that's what I don't shoot. But if I'm shooting rifles it could range from. 22 to .45-70 and in handguns .22 to .45 Colt.

And that doesn't include the .416 Rigby that I sold after I tore my rotator cuff in a martial arts class. That was something else again!

BUT...if I must choose........

Revolvers. .38 Special

Pistols. 9mm

Rifles. Much harder but I'll stick to .308 Winchester.

 

[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?

 

[Hair Trigger]

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.

 

[geen]

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

 

[ruggyh]

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?

 

[Marshal Tom]

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.

 

[Rifleman200-10X]

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.
