You are going to have enlarge on this story, you know, just a little more detail.

Shot a White Phos grenade with a 7.62 Nato one time .....

But, strangely that did penetrate it and make it fizz.

I wish you all the best of luck in preserving the freedoms that allow you to shoot most anything you want freely and without all the nonsense and hoop jumping we are stuck with.

I can only speak for my list, but I suspect most lists are not all those firearms at any one time frame, but as in my case many of the chemberings were at different times and in more than one firearm over a life time.

It is true that in the USA we have the right to bare arms in our constitution, and over a life time a dedicated shooter/hunter can own, and shoot a lot of different firearms. The administration we are under presently is trying hard to take that right away, however!

YES it feels so good.

Also let be known that there can be many many guns in the same caliber owned.

Thank you very much! We are very fortunate that our founders put in specific articles and laws to protect our way of life. Our way of life is under siege here and we are doing all we can to maintain our right to this way of life. Your situation is shamefull and flat out wrong!

I, for one, apologize for what our "liberals" did to your country. I don't know how you guys can stand Americans, but I am damn sure glad you can!

Hopefully you were just kidding.
On the other hand, you live in an area that holds something like 25% of the worlds animals, there are times I might would trade places with you.
The list I compiled covered over 50 years of hunting.
By the way, I have many firearms that have yet to draw blood that were not listed.
Bragging, NO, just am blessed to have been born free enough to enjoy my 2nd amendment rights, wish you had the same.

I only listed the ones I shot game with not all owned.

So far I think I have taken ground squirrels with a 375H&H,416Rigby and a 470Nitro. I don't THINK I have ever taken that particular game animal with any other cartridge arm. I HAVE used a 177 HyScore airpistol several times just for test purposes. A HyScore was the first gun I ever owned. My Father gave it to me around 1949. 50 years later I found this one in the original box with half a can of original pellets that came in the box and the dealer sold it for the original printed price in the box. Mint condition except the leathers were completely dry and so pressure was very poor. I think the original printed price was $17.95.

Damn, let's see:
Flipper Crotch(aka sling shot)(not sure of the caliber ) with good round stones
Daisy Red Rider lever action BB gun
.177 Caliber pellet gun

There may be others that will come to mind in due time. And, still others that will take game in the future with time and opportunity. Many other calibers owned but not drawn blood with yet.

There was one time when I had very little money that a 06,20ga,22rf rifle pistol was all I needed.

Then I learned the error of my ways

They all did the job save the 308 and that was my fault. Knocked a buck off it's feet, stupidly put the rifle down, it got up, staggered into the woods leaving no blood trail. Even the tracking dog couldn't find it. I must have pulled the shot but I'll never use the 308 again, just superstitious, the rest of them worked just fine.

Looking back over my list, I forgot the .44 Rem. Mag.
