Ok, your handle is the same as a license plate I found at an estate sale(and used as my Avatar)
Of Cmciarse it was still in use.
Lol
I only have one child, but like you I like a lot of odd calibers.
I got a m 577 Snyder from my day, it is my favorite of the week.

I hope those are your children that you're talking about

I enjoy 7.62x39. It packs enough thump but not too much. It's cheap, and you can just throw the steel cases out when you're done.

Only negative is that bizarre combloc smell, which no other ammunition has.

If I had to choose one round it would be the 30-06, fortunately I dont so I have many favorites ( 7x57, 9.3x74r, 6,5x55, 375 H&H 300 H&H,....)

 

[Xaevian]

Welcome!

 

[jkor]

300 blackout, for its wide range of loading possibly's.

 

[WAYNO]

It would be .30-06 for me, too.

It worked in the wars, and it works great in the hunting fields.

Equally, a feller might say .308. Good choice too.

But since I've used and reloaded for .30-06 most of my adult life, it could very well settle in as my one and only.

 

[trevi]

I like whatever chambers the mysterious AR-14s. Must be so hush-hush since i have not seen one in the wild.

Welcome on board!

 

[kmk1012]

Welcome! I can't narrow down to a single cartridge but I am fond of the 44Mag, 460Mag, and 223

 

[2ndtimer]

Tough choices! For rifle, I would have to say .223 Rem. Cheap to load, accurate, mild recoil, love the AR platform as well as heavy barrel bolt guns.
For handguns, I would have to say .357 Mag/.38 Special. It was I started handloading with, and also economical and easy to keep your brass!
