Just curious in general what caliber strikes your fancy to shoot regularly?What is your favorite caliber to shoot regularly?.300 Win Mag #1 pet.308 runs a close 2nd

.223Remington. Low recoil and cheap to shoot (I reload).

Pistol: .38 Special - cheap.
Rifle: 6.5 x 55 - relatively cheap, fun, accurate, I hunt with it the most.

I'll second the .223 for similar reasons.

308WCF.

308 & 7.62x39

.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.

A lot comes down to what ammo I have ready to go.

Over the years it has been the 375 H&H for me and with loads ranging fron 220 grainers at 2100 f/s and on.

I got a few different calibers I enjoy shooting on a regular basis.

22LR
22WSM
17HMR
7.62x39
7mm Mag

But mainly my rimfire cartridges, cheap to shoot very low to no recoil. I like trying to see how small I can get a group at 25 and 50 yrds with them.

Gidday Guys,

222 rem,

Happy Hunting

Not sure how this happened. I thought i deleted this one, Thats how i got 2 discussions of the same thing. DOH!

.22 lr. then all the others. in that order.

A 22 LR for me. A lot of fun to be had for cheap. #2 is a 22-250.

22 lr and then the 45acp,243,22-250

22-250, and my trusty Star PD .45 with reduced loads!

I don't own a 300wm. Most fired are 308 and 30-06. I do own a 300 H+H but its a safe queen.

A .22LR always accompanies me to the range. The shooting seizes when I get tired of loading the magazines.

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.

222 Rem

Too bad you guys can't have .223Rem to shoot. The brass is cheap and widely available...

Handgun : .45 ACP
Rifle : .30-06

Hey Jack125, I happen to own a Star PD too. You don't see a lot of them nowadays. A nice little gun, though.

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.

6.5x55

44 MAG would be my first choice if we're talkin' centerfire. other wise 22LR

222 Rem. (Rem Model 722. I have 2 of them)
They are great ego boosters...

In rifle, I shoot my 338-06 as often as I can. In handgun, a 45acp always gets a trip to the range when I go.

.22 lr followed by my Baikal double 30 06

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.

Rad

1. 9mm parabellum

2. .223


Because my Dillon is set up for #1 and soon to be set up for #2.

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.

Really enjoy shooting my 7 rem mag and 45acp. BUT a friend has a couple of 308's that I like to shoot even more. Accurate and gentle.

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.

M1 Garanditis has me so for right now it is 8 30-06's and a "PING!"

7.62x52r
38 special
38-55

IF, a fella is "handy" with a Garand, he is a force to be reconded with...

A Serious Force....
