What caliber do you load the most for and why?

[Broken Bottles]

.357MAG is what I load the most.
Because my Lever action rifle shoots it really well and it's currently the only caliber I'm set up to load for. lol

 

[Walkalong]

I have probably shot more light .38 Spl, light .357 and 9MM in the last few months than anything else, but have shot everything from .32 ACP to .45 Colt. Last Sunday I shot .38 Spl, .357, 9MM, and .41 Mag.

 

[Dframe]

It's a toss up between 38 special and 44 special. the reason? Thats what I shoot the most.

 

[witchhunter]

I load for around 30 calibers. My rifles are mostly prairie dog guns from .17 K Hornet to 220 Swift AI. Pistols 38/357, 9 and 45ACP. I use a Rockchucker, I get my son to load the pistol stuff on his progressives for me. Been doing this for a minute, love loading and working up loads for new stuff.

 

[rclark]

.45 Colt. Because it is my favorite caliber and shoot it the most. Doesn't get any better no how and will always be 'the' caliber for this man. .44 Special would be the next best as it is an 'almost' favorite.

 

[natgas]

45acp followed by 40s&w and 9mm; last would be 38 spl

I have enough loaded ammo in all these calibers to last for years!

 

[mstreddy]

For me, 9mm is the most loaded and subsequently shot. Then 45 ACP, 38 SPcl. In rifle, 223 and 300 Blackout, then 308, 30-06, 30-30.

 

[Kuyong_Chuin]

So far 40 s&w why, that is the only one I have press dies for in a pistol and what I shoot the most. We have several rifle dies but I am holding off on those for awhile.

 

[1SOW]

9mm,
because I want ammunition tuned to my pistols and specific uses.

 

[Dudedog]

More 9mm than anything. Cheap, fun to shoot.
.45/.357/.223
and 7mm Rem mag, not cheap, kicks a little, fun to shoot in small batches

 

[Capt. Ct.]

9mm and .45 acp. Mostly 9mm do to cost and a pleasant round to shoot. I also can load .357 and .38 special but I have plenty of those rounds and only one gun that can shoot them now, so no need for any loading of those calibers.

 

[jolly roger]

45 ACP by far. Have 5 I need to feed, then probably 38 and 44 Specials, followed by 9mm

 

[horseman1]

In order most to least:

223 Remington, 40 SW, 45 ACP, 30-30 Winchester.

I see now that the ones with the biggest magazines get loaded more. This phenomenon may only occur with teenage boys running the guns.

 

[Wildbillz]

I load a lot more 9mm than anything else. Followed by 45acp.

[deadeye dick]

My go to loads are: .45acp 9mm 38sp 357mag. .32acp. Howie

 

[ldlfh7]

44 mag
9mm
Both with cast lead.

 

[DC_art]

40S&W because it's a whole lot easier to shoot more rounds through an auto than through a revolver (357)! Plus, I apparently need the practice.

 

[Edster12]

Well right now it's a toss up between 45 Colt and 40 S&W, and I don't even own a 40. I reload for both myself and my son in law. Well the young man enjoys shooting. He provides the materials and I reload for him. We have tailored loads for his 40 pistol, 45 Colt Blackhawk, and both of us have 45 Colt lever actions.
Right now I am loading right around 250 rounds of 40, 100 rounds for the Blachawk and 100 rounds for the lever, every other week. That's just for him. Now he tells me he is thinking of getting a 9mm too.
That's ok though he is a good man and treats my daughter and granddaughter like queens.

 

[ArchAngelCD]

Handgun 38/357
Rifle 30-06

I've been shooting a lot of 45 Colt and 32 ACP lately though...

 

[leefan]

32 auto and 380 auto for practice with my carry pistols.

 

[Crashbox]

For me it's .357 Magnum by far. Probably 100 times as many as .40 S&W... because revolvers are just plain more fun to shoot in my opinion.

 

[sfed]

223 40S&W 9mm 30-06 357 Magnum and in that order!!

 

[351 WINCHESTER]

.303 British because I get better accuracy than any factory ammo I've ever tried and it's much cheaper.

 

[Reloadron]

It's a toss up between 308 and 223.

Month to month it varies but it will always be 308 or 223 in the lead position. They would be followed by 7mm-08, 30-06, 45 ACP, 45 LC, 38 SPL & 357 Magnum. I don't shoot much 7mm Rem Mag anymore or 30 Carbine.

38 Super, because I can use lighter bullets designed for 380ACP up to 180gr bullets intended for .357/.38 Costs about the same as 9mm if you reuse the brass. 158gr bullets are quite nice and seem like a good choice if not running a compensator.

40 S&W is my go to "common caliber". I just shoot for average loadings for it since there's plenty of information available and don't really bother with anything other than 165gr or 180gr bullet weights.
