Do you have a favorite caliber that you handload

.45acp is the easiest but I like my 22-250 and I am also chasing that magic clover leaf group. I had a perfect three shot group going until I pulled the trigger for the second time. He He
 
I only load two but .223 comes in ahead of.40 S&W just because I don't care for the extra step of expanding the .40 case mouth...just something about it that nags at me. That said, I get a lot of enjoyment out of finishing 100 of either and putting them in the box.

38 special, followed closely by 44 magnum. 357 mag is great to load also... like 9mm. Hmm. I see a pattern. Yep, like already stated by others, straight walled pistol is where it is at.
 
I reload for 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 mag, .22-250, 6.5x55, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem Mag, .30-06 and .35 Whelan. That covers a lot of ground, and I find great satisfaction in finding what works best in all of them. The only one I've gone away from is the 9, its so darned small I get frustrated with the little buggers. I also find I don't get the economy that reloading gives me with the other rounds.
 
My favorite flavor of the month right now is 375 Win. I cast boolits for it, put a little RE7 underneath and it is really fun to shoot.

357 Magnum. It does it all from light target loads with HBWC's to full power loads with 158 grain and heavier bullets.

Not only a favorite caliber, but also favorite tools and methods. I enjoyed sitting back and loading these 303 Savage shells with the Ideal Tool getting ready for the range.

.243 because the bullet/powder/primer combos are endless.
.38spl/.357 mag because they feed my Python.
 
.38/.357 with cast 158 gr. LSWCs and Trail Boss. Out of the three calibers I load for, these are my favorites.

I personally don't care for 9mm. The short casings are kind of a pain to work with...reloading has me wanting a .45 LC just because it looks fun to load.
