What is your favorite caliber?

[oremike]

Yesterday it was 45 Colt, today it was 380 acp.

 

[brw2]

Queued to 3 blocks of ballistic gel.

WARNING POTTY LANGUAGE

I've been looking at the 8.6BLK, and I must say it's much more impressive than the 300BLK. Here's a video of an 8.6 subsonic 360gr. gel test. That 1:3 twist creates and INCREDIBLE wound cavity. Watch for that secondary dieseling explosion when the wound cavity collapses:

7.62x39 but in a Bolt action, love taming its underestimated accuracy.
40 SW. Always liked how it feels and shoots. City winder carry,
.38 for fun .357 for winder carry outdoors.
22lr of course to plink.
30.06 another favorite.
9mm Light summer carry Shield or 365 sig
Home D - hp 5.56
There are so many rounds to enjoy and each can have its own purpose.

But of course all this was before the " tragic boat accident " .
Now I use 50cal ball slingshot pew pew pew
Argus

Mine? Its 338 Spectre. Ive only got one gun in it. 10.5" SBR AR . Spews out 300 grain sub-MOA with 44 mag power and subsonic. I run it through a custom 338 suppressor. Makes me giggle every time I shoot it. One of these days Im going to build an HK or AK in that caliber.

Haven't found any I don't like, so I must like them all. Lead, Gilded metal, shot. No matter they are all fun.

 

[JRuby]

For deer 6.5x55, 7x57, 300 Savage
For Elk 338-06, 9.3x62
I have a few to choose from and sometimes its more about the rifle than it is about the cartridge.
Dont see much need for a 30-30, personally.

 

[The Heretic]

.22 rimfire

 

[Member 38805]

It's a toss up for me between .40-70 Ballard or .45-70 Govt. The .45-70 does better at long-range shooting, but the .40-70 B is easier on my shoulder.

 

[JojoWillie]

Pistol 100mm, rifle 300 blackout

 

[Spitpatch]

Pistol 100mm, rifle 300 blackout

[Flopsweat]

Pistol 100mm, rifle 300 blackout

A 100 mm pistol? I gotta see that.

 

[NeoBlackdog]

A 100 mm pistol? I gotta see that.

I'd like to see it, but it'd be a cold day in hell before I'd shoot it!

 

[Dillon1000]

6 mm BR, 6 mm PPC and 6.5 CM for target work
Pistol 38 super Race Gun, Custom Smith 41 22LR for target work
Shotgun A5 Browning
All the rest are for BAD guys

What is your favorite caliber?

It's not about a particular caliber. It's more about the "payload".

Pistol match: 45 Automatic

Muzzleloading rifle and pistol: both 50-cal.

 

[YippeeKiYoRed]

Is this thread about favorite cartridges or what the title says? Just joking but there seems to be some who don't know the difference.

I noticed that too, but listed cartridges anyways. Both 22 and 30 cover a wide range of pistol and rifle cartridges.

For favorite caliber it's pretty hard to beat a 4 bore. But 2 bore is nice also.
