What caliber do you own more of?

[PlayboyPenguin]

Yes, I know I ended that question with a preposition. I was just wondering. I am thinking of buying a Ruger .357mah SA revolver or another .45 colt SA revolver.

This would make four .357mags for me. I am starting to think I might like them.
Anyone else have an iinfinity for a certain caliber? Wat one do you own more of?

 

[jem375]

5 -45ACP's with 4 10MM's close behind..only have 3- 357Mags...

 

[clasiter]

yep

.40s

 

[loadedround]

#1, 45 ACP. #2, 44 Mag , #3 45LC

 

[Standing Wolf]

.22 long rifle, followed by .357 magnum.

 

[Ala Dan]

Definitely, .45 ACP's~!

 

[rbernie]

It's a tie - six 45ACP, six 308.

 

[lee n. field]

2 each 9x18 and .38/.357. Beyond that, a bunch of singletons.

I'm not a caliber zealot, but unless I get into revolvers or blowback mouseguns, all my future handgun purchases are likely to be in 9x19 or .45ACP. Time-tested, widely-available, cheap, countless interesting loadings, and just about every manufacturer makes guns chambered in these calibers. A simple proposition, velocity and capacity vs. bullet weight and diameter, sound arguments for both.

Some newer calibers seem gimmicky, an answer to a question nobody asked, others are clever and intriguing, exotic calibers are fascinating to read about and discuss, but until I have more time and money than I know what to do with, I'll probably stick with the classics. Great question, though!

[rich e]

I have a tie....4-45,s and 4-357,s

 

[gp911]

Hoboken?!

One each of .357, .410, 5.56x45, and 7.62x54R right now, but I anticipate another 7.62x54R coming soon... I think I have found my new favorite caliber...

The C&R license is calling to me, and I find myself drooling over ads that say "91/30 $69.95, 10 or more: $64.95, hex receiver add $10, handpick add $10".

Even worse (better?) I see the ads for crates of ammo with almost a thousand rounds for sixty bucks and I just do this: Gimme ten!!!

Man, they lure you in like a drug dealer with these milsurps... "first one's free, or close enough..."

Next thing you know you want one with a laminated stock, or a particular arsenal, or the model without the bayonet, or the one with the funny stamp, or the one without the funny stamp, or, or, or.....

[Gunstore Commando]

5 .22's. (Three rifles, two handguns.) Three .38's, and a .357.

No more than two of anything else.

Actually planning on a few more .22's in the future.

 

[M2 Carbine]

9x18 for sure.
Fourteen Makarovs but two are 380.
Three P-64.
One PA63.
Oh, and one CZ83 9x18.

Then I guess Carbine would be next.
Ten M1/M2 Carbines.

[Koobuh]

Number of bullets?

.22 LR, by far, though it's so easy to do so it's almost not worth mentioning.

Second place is 7.62x54R, which isn't quite as cheap, but close.
I have two Mosins, an M44 and a sporterized Remington M91, and have an M39 coming from AIM.
The bang for the buck is unbeatable with these firearms.
