Calibers that go together with reloading like peanut butter and jelly?

[Kruel J]

6.5 CM


Someone had to say it.

 

[41mag]

Back in my rifle days I preferred 38-55 . Hardly a pairing opportunity.

In the context of someone who goes out and shoots, using the ammo tailored for maximum performance, even the 6.5 Creedtard counts!

 

[RVTECH]

I have always preferred anything straight wall to bottleneck however I do enjoy loading .30-30 as it is a favorite caliber, I experiment a lot with it and don't shoot it high volume so I take a little more time when loading it to ensure consistency for maximum accuracy.

The 30-30 in a falling block single shot, using pointed projectiles, is skookum!

Ditto this One at a time in a lever action as well!

I've got a box of 160 grain LeverEvolutuion bullets to use up for just this as well !

 

[ronin223]

.40 SW, easier to run through a progressive than 9mm or .45 acp or .357. less force to resize and seat bullet

Also pistol in general is easier than rifle cases

 

[DizzyJ]

.223 because it's relatively cheap to load and can be extremely accurate. Lots of variations from 34gr explosive varmint rounds to heavier pills for hunting or long range. Kick is non-existent too.

9mm because it's the best pistol caliber. Ever. It's a well known fact that operators can't operate with any other caliber. So there's that.

That's why I'm a brain surgeon. Lobotomies for all !

I've got a list of people imma send to ya!

I'm ready!

 

[Capn Jack]

Never thought much of the 9mm as an FMJ. It was like stabbing bunnies with a pencil,
but it's sweet as a 145GR. HP.

* Also in .38 Spl.

 

[Xaevian]

7x57mm & 8x57mm, cuz CIP > SAAMI.

 

[Papercidal]

Invest a little bit into casting and.38/.357 or 9mm can be loaded for less than 22 min mags. The payoff is greatest on the revolver cartridges which are pretty overpriced for what they are (economy of scale since they aren't the most popular cartridges around like they once where)

 

[Capn Jack]

.22 rimfire and 12 GA Shotgun are the only cartridges I use, don't reload and cast bullets for.
I reload .458 SoCom for .35 a round and don't count the price of lead as I'm still sending my old S.C.U.B.A. weights down range.

 

[Dozer99]

6.5x55 for accuracy of course.

 

[CountryGent]

None. I give them green paper, they give me boolits. Worked thus far.

 

[fstdraw]

7.62x39. Because I enjoy chasing the brass into the next county!

If they no gots.. You no gots..

I'm still shooting steel cases I bought pre-obummer.
