Favorite semiauto cartridges

7.62x25 for me as well. Its just a neat round... like an 8mm automag.

10mm and 460rowland is really interesting to me.

I still think 40s&w is the best round for a medium to full size carry gun. I dont care what the FBI says about 9mm. Doesnt mean 9mm cant be effective.... I like 9mm too.

I am one of the few who actually like the 25acp. Its like a 22lr but reliable! It has an actual primer. 22lr is fine for cheap training though.

Anything which in normal times is affordable to use in bulk, and has non-corrosive primers.

Good candidates for whenever times return to a "normal" scenario: 7.62x39, 9mm, .22LR. Life is too short to give a hoot about fashion.

10mm Does everything I want a semiauto cartridge to do, and since there is a nice variety of bullet weights and loadings available, I feel it covers all my mases. Unfortunately it isn't offered in as many guns as I'd like to see.

Second is 38 Super, cuz fun.

Yeah I kind of agree... It can just do everything well and has a lot of crossover into diifferent applications. As you say there are not enough offerings.... especially well built and strong enough offerings.

I guess small game and bird hunting would be a pretty lousy application of 10mm but thats about it. Might be doable with some sort of shot loaded round.
