I'm thinking of trimming down to a smaller numbers of calibers, if for no other reason than to save space. I'd also like to get rid of any calibers that may not be in common use in a decade or so.
Given that, which calibers, if any, would YOU ditch?
.17 Mach2: I have a few single-shot rifles that were converted from .22 LR to .17 Mach 2. I haven't seen any of this ammo in a while. Is it dying out?
.17 HMR: I have some other rifles in .17 HMR, plus a matched set of Tararus Tracker revolvers in .22 LR and .17 HMR. I really like the caliber, and I hope it stays around. Will it?
.32 Magnum. I have just one gun in this caliber, a Ruger SP-101. I thought about reaming out the cylinder to take .327 Magnums, but Ruger advises against it. I also have one of the original .22 SP-101s that's identical in every way but caliber. I got them both for a lightly-built girlfriend, but that didn't work out. I think they make a good set, but not if I can't find ammo for one of them.
9mm Makorov. I've got two PA-63s in this caliber. I'm thinking of converting them to .380. What do you think? Will Mak ammo still be around in a decade or so?
.44 Special: Never mind. I'll keep them.
