Whats your favorite caliber?

[Sven]

Well, things have changes in the year since this thread was started. Bought a Colt Delta Elite about 10 months ago and I have a new favorite.

10mm auto.

As far as hand gun caliber I shoot the most would be .38/.357 Models 10, 14, 15, 19, 60, 66, 638, 640 & 642. My favorite caliber however is .45 acp in model 625 or 1911.

Favorite rifle round is .22 Hornet with T/C Encore.

The question asks for favorite..not most practical. That is a very different set of calibers.

My favorites
Semi auto .357 sig It's just a great round with great ballistics
Revolver .357 magnum The King
Rifle 30-06 just a killer round

They are not the ones I reach for on an everyday carry basis, but my .41 mags make lots of trips to the range and the woods.

The rifle I reach for most often is the ugliest one I own. A Rem. stainless, mountain rifle, black Teflon coated, scratched so often that it is turning stainless again, inconvenient blind magazine. The caliber is .280 Rem. It goes in the rain, snow, or when I pay to hunt and want something I have confidence in. It is extremely hard on deer.

Don't even have to think about it. The .41Magnum is the king in my safe. Favorite firearm in that caliber is an OM Ruger Blackhawk I've had since the 60's.

40 S&W (I can hear the gasps.) in my M&P 40c
It comes down to the hatcher rating. While I know there is some really good for 9mm. I like knowing the the 40 S&W packs the perfect balance between knock down power and to much recoil. I also shot 40 S&W well.

A extremely close second is the .44 Magnum in 629. It really come down to the revolver than the round. I like 44 Mag for the BIG power & like .44 special for precision.

6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. I've yet to find a caliber as versatile and flat-shooting as it is.

The ones I shoot most: .22 LR and .45 ACP

"Caliber" means cross sectional diameter

.38 Special and .357 Magnum are the same caliber.

Same for .22 LR and .223 Remington.

But we all know what he meant
