.458 Lott w/ 500 grain. Because I like being pushed back a couple paces.
Ten rounds and I'm ready for something "light" -- like 30-06 or .308 Win.
Handguns I really like a revolver in 38 Spl -- I have a Smith in 38 Spl, NOT .357 Mag. 4" bbl, ported. Someone's IPSC gun. But I hardly ever shoot and not haul out the 44 Mag revolvers. I have a Marlin carbine in 44 Mag. too.
8mm Mauser, I have a couple, mil-surp. Long range at stumps, buckets with iron sights.
AK just because.
Garand for the same reason.
So many guns, so little time . . .
When I get back from shooting -- which usually entails a camping trip and some fly fishing -- The gun cleaning gets set up in the garage and takes a couple days.
For me, .357 Magnum. Even though I have a SIG .40 S&W for concealed carry and it is enjoyable to shoot, I like the LOUD report and large muzzle flash of my GP100 wheeler.

I shoot air rifle more than anything anymore. This is because I have purple martin houses and get a lot of targets in the form of starlings and sparrows. I shoot in my back yard but couldn't with a firearm. I like the 5mm--20 cal best. Firearm--Like my .22 centerfires--.222 and 223

Love shooting 30-06 and 308. Then again I really like a lot of different calibers. But it's the 30's in various forms I shoot the most of. I blame Sierra for selling 500 round boxes of the 168 and 175 SMK.
Actually I shoot more breeze than any gun and don't do much of that. As far as guns go they would have to be the one I use for hunting and this year it will my 357 max, a muzzle loader, and slug gun.

I like shooting the 375 H&H. Obviously, there are tons of cartridges with heaps more power, but for me there is something irresistible about the sound signature and all the rest when I touch 'er off.

Various .22s and my BSA pellet rifle. The pellet rifle I can even shoot in the garage with a pellet trap. Daily practice with these keeps me sharp for my centerfires.
