How many different cartridges in one caliber?

Legionnaire · Mar 4, 2020

So I'm curious. What's the largest number of different cartridges you shoot in a single caliber?

For me, the caliber is .284/7mm, and the number of cartridges is five:

7x57 Mauser
7mm-08 Remington
7mm RSAUM
.280 Ackley Improved
7mm Rem Mag

Yes, a lot of overlap here, but I like them all. My least favorite is the 7mm Rem Mag, but I inherited the rifle from my FIL, so it has sentimental value.

45LC, 45ACP, & .410 shotgun, all from the same S&W pistol, the Governor.
Anybody with a Roaring Judge can also shoot 454 Casull, as well as the other three.

.357 Magnum
.38 Special
9MMX19MM(Luger)
9MMX18MM(Makarov)

NIGHTLORD40K · Mar 4, 2020

5 in .30- Carbine, .308, and 7.62X39, '06, and -30.

Does the 7.5 Swiss count as a 30 cailber?

I am using 311 bullets in Russian rifle, do they count as 30 caliber?

The 30-06 has to be 30 caliber

uses the same bullets as the 30-40 Krag

This is clearly 30 caliber

7.62 X 51 is another way of saying 308 Win

Hard to say this is a rifle, but it shoots 30 caliber ammunition

and who does not have an WASR?

300 H&H is a pretty good cartridge

This is the least 7mms I've own since before I was 18,
7x57 mauser
7x57 Ackley improved
7wsm
Next 7mm will be a 7-08 or 280ai since I have both reamers. And a 7stw reamer. I keep debating taking down my ss 700 I built in 308 and turning it back into a 7-08 or 7-08ai it would look good stainless steel in a walnut stock I have.

DocRock · Mar 5, 2020

30 cal for me. Five cartridges, but a lot of rifles in the same cartridge...

.30 Carbine (haven't taken that out in a long time)
.30-30 (several)
.30-40 (verging on an affliction)
.308/7.62x51 (I have to use separate brass and loads, so that's effectively two different cartridges for me)
.30-06 (on!y one at the moment. How odd)

someguy2800 · Mar 5, 2020

7.62x39
7.62x54
7.7x58 arisaka
308
30-06

I like 30's. I think I need a 30 sabercat and a 30-30 AI.

30 cal is my big one. 30-06, 308, 7.62x39, 300 blackout in super and subsonic, and about to build a 327 single shot. So yeah, I like 30 cal.

I have a Zastava (ZCZ) LK M70 with 20" barrel full stock (Mannlicher style), and Zastava LK M70 24" barrel Bavarian style half stock, which will be put in a nice walnut Monte Carlo stock. Both have two trigger set trigger systems. I'm not sure about keeping those, they may get replaced with single adjustable triggers. I don't have any experience with set trigger systems.

Production dates on the 7X64mm rifle's receivers are from when Yugoslavia was a nation FWIW.

I have a 7mm-08 22" barrel Zastava barreled action with a Timney trigger in a Boyd's Pepper laminated half stock, and an as-new factory configured 7mm-08 Zastava 22" barrel with factory trigger and factory walnut half stock. Those have single adjustable triggers. Production of those are after Yugoslavia imploded, in Serbia.

Ok that's what I thought you had, if you get rid of those double triggers let me know.

Mr. Zorg · Mar 5, 2020

Will do. I've found a nearby shop that claim their gunsmiths have experience in adjusting these two trigger set trigger systems. The original Interarms Mark X owners manual has directions for adjusting the factory single adjustable trigger systems but nothing about adjusting the two trigger set trigger systems.

Most doubles have a adjustment screw there are other ways to adjust them aswell. The wood compressing over the years can make them not work properly, or worn sears or kicker could mess them up. There a love it or hate it trigger, they work great for some European hunting styles. But not always for how we hunt anymore. Can be great from a bench to,but you need to have better shooting fundamentals over a normal trigger.

Sorry op I'd not mean to hijack.

rayatphonix · Mar 5, 2020

6.5 Grendel
6.5 Creedmoor
6.5 Norma
260 Rem
6.5 Rem Mag

fpgt72 · Mar 5, 2020

I thought you wanted to know how many different cartridges do you load that are a single caliber.

You have 3 guns that shoot the same caliber but each one gets its own special loading kind of thing....perhaps another topic.

Legionnaire · Mar 5, 2020

By same caliber, I really meant capable of firing the same bullets. All my 7s launch a .284 caliber bullet.

I need to shoot a cartridge lineup pic like @troy fairweather's above.

Edit: And here it is ...

7mm-08, 7x57, 7 SAUM, .280 Ackley, 7 Rem Mag

roc1 · Mar 5, 2020

6mm
243
6BR
6mm Creed

bangswitch · Mar 5, 2020

I guess it would be four for me, if you differentiate .308 from 7.62x51
1-.308 (Marlin XS7)
2- 7.62x51 (M1A)
3-7.62x54R (Mosin-Nagant 91/30)
4-300BLK (late edit, I totally forgot about this one)
And I have two .22LR rifles and one .22LR pistol
But I also shoot .40S&W and 10mm, and .38Spl and .357 Magnum

gotboostvr · Mar 5, 2020

In rifle calibers, I have a 308 and a 30-06.

But, in just my Blackhawk convertible I can shoot:
45LC, 45LC +P (Ruger only), 45 Schofield, 45 Cowboy (45LC trimmed to 45acp length)

Plus

45acp, 45acp +P and 45 Super.

roc1 · Mar 5, 2020

Almost forgot
22 centerfire
3-223
222
22-250

Obturation · Mar 5, 2020

I guess I'd have to say 45, --45auto, 45 colt, 454 casull, 45-70 (.458). I can't keep up with some of you guys.
