Wow, what a deal! They’re just so dang expensive now! Hoping the CMP would have a good deal on them.

This probably been posted before but it's gettin posted again.

For me i gotta go with the 308, i shoot more 5.56, 9mm and others but only cause of cost. so 308

What's yours?

I'm with ya, 308 is my go-to as needed.

Let's not forget the .22LR for just shooting, which I'm back to shooting with the HK MP5! FUN!

But I have shot a few in guns I wish I hadnt. I love Ruger No1's but 458win is a No1 tropical is spicey. I had an Encore barrel in 500 S&W cut down to 10". One shot was enough! In an Encore rifle or a S&W X Frame it fine....

To be fair, even though I said .308 and 10mm, I have not shot every possible round... would favorite be what I can afford to shoot a lot of, or rounds I have shot that I can probably never shoot again... like 20mm.

Hunting can be done with a .22, ya just need a flashlight

I suppose it depends on purpose. I used to shoot competitively, for fun, and for sport. Something happened to me somewhere along the line in my late 40s or early 50s where I just didn't enjoy shooting recreationally anymore. I transitioned into a utilitarian shooter. My firearms and stockpile are for the exclusive purposes of self protection, protection for those I love, to protect my castle, and to hunt so I can feed myself. All that being said, I have only a few select firearms with a minimum of 2,500 rounds per trigger. 7MM PRC, .556, 9MM, .45, 12 GA, and 22 LR. Each serves a specific purpose. However, my "favorite-all-time-caliber" would be .45.
