Which caliber do you shoot the most?

[Hammer059]

As in most rounds and most often? Why?

 

[sequins]

9mm to practice definitely. I am a rebel and I shoot 115gr light loads whilst carrying 124gr hot loads, but I feel like the practice still counts.

 

[shootniron]

44 Special

I love those powerful, soft shooting little single actions. I have and like the Rugers...but I have and LOVE the Cimarrons.

sequins, I'd have to say the same. For me, it's a close call between 9mm and a couple others. I also carry 124gr but usually practice with 115gr. No particular reason, that's just the way it is. I need to start keeping better tabs on my round counts for my firearms though

 

[Arkansas Paul]

These days I probably shoot more .38 Spcl than anything.

I just love the round. Low recoil, accurate and so easy and cheap to cast and load for. The word 'special' is in the name for a reason.

@ Hammer059: I keep a log for my purchased new firearms only. Luckily for me most of my guns were bought used, it makes record keeping easy! I feel like if I kept strenuous records for my used guns it would just eat me up wondering how worn they were before I got them. 115gr 9mm is just so darn affordable I like to shoot at least 250 rounds per session.

 

[Red Wind]

.38/.357 overwhelmingly. 357, 180 grain hunting loads, really make me smile.

Grizzly, 180GR .357 Mag WFNGC are really cool.

 

[kitsapshooter]

It depends on the day of week, the cycle of the moon, and if my wife lets me go shoot.

 

[ColoradoShooter77]

9mm with the 40 S&W being a close second. I practice with Berry's 124 grain bullets....its my favorite weight.

 

[Jesse H]

Toss up between 9mm, .223 and .40. Work provides training with .40 and .223 but I mostly shoot 9mm on my own time.

 

[Old Dog]

Probably 9mm (work) -- at least a thousand rounds month, then 223/5.56 (again, work) --a few hundred rounds per month. On my own time, I shoot a lot of .45 ACP, a couple hundred rounds a month, at least, and then some .38/.357 ...

 

[chris in va]

Split between 5.56, x39 and 9mm, all in carbines. I love carbines.

 

[DeepSouth]

7.62x39 and 45acp probably make up 90% of my shooting.

With more 7.62 than 45.

 

[Center fire]

45ACP first with 9mm a close second. The 45ACP is my number one caliber for the simply reason that it is a joy to shoot.

 

[USAF_Vet]

I shoot more 5.56/ .223 than anything else.

Followed closely by 9mm and 12 gauge is in third place.

Why? I like my ARs.

 

[Gravedigger56]

9mm - handgun
.223 - rifle

 

[CajunBass]

38 Special by a wide margin, with 9mm a distant second. I've got large stashes of brass for both.

I don't shoot much of anything else enough to even count it.

 

[bannockburn]

Very close but I would say I still shoot more .22 than anything else. Coming in for a close second would be 9mm. After that .45 ACP would come in third place.

 

[Ranger Roberts]

I shoot all of the above plus a bunch more regularly, however I shoot .22lr and 12 ga most. I do a pistol competition with .22lr so I shoot about 25k rounds a year. I also shoot sporting clays a lot, so that's where the 12 ga comes in.

 

[fireman 9731]

Lifetime wise I have shot the most 22lr by a large margin. Next would be 7.62x39 and 12 gauge, then 45-70, 5.56, 7.62x54R, and 45acp.

Lately I have been shooting a whole lot less 22lr and more 38's, 380, and 17hmr.

 

[Reloadron]

While I listed 308 Winchester it's tight between 308 Win and 223 Rem with competition in handgun from 45 ACP and 357 Magnum.

[jrdolall]

It messed me up when 22 LR was on the list as I tend to use it as a trainer round so we shoot a LOT of 22 LR. For SD and HD I use 9mm so I shoot that caliber a lot more than other center fire rounds.

 

[Spats McGee]

9mm. My most often carried gun is in 9mm. I don't get to the range nearly as often as I'd like, so it goes with me on every range trip.

 

[PJSprog]

Over a lifetime of shooting, definitely .22LR. At times, .38 Special takes the prize, as it's been my longest reloading cartridge, and I just like to shoot it. But, even in these tougher times, we still shoot more .22s than anything.

 

[flathats]

With varmint control being my job I shoot more .17HMR than anything anymore...
