what is your favorite calibre ?

[mannlicher]

.270

 

[Chris Stephens]

I got a .22lr, .17rem, .222 and a .270 I love them all but the .17rem stole my heart its a sweet little caliber and deadly to anything I've pointed it at. But if you forced me to choose one it would still be the 17rem that stayed

 

[scrumbag]

Another one for the .22 here. Though I'm with John on 9.3s being just great fun...

Rifle calibres are like a line-up of Miss World contestants,I can find something to love in all of them, except a 6.5X55 that’s a bit of a migger.

One calibre only ?
.22LR

 

[Hunterjohnb]

Sorry to say I could not live with just one gun. My minimum would be 22magnum and 280 Remington or 7x64.

 

[bewsher500]

just came to the conclusion that my 243 may not see much use now I have christened the newly restored 270!

I love them both but there is something right about the 270

 

[Cottontail killer]

To be fair if im out and about shooting i dont care what with shotgun or rifle its about being out shooting for me but at the min im loving my HM2

 

[Deer Assassin]

For me it has to be the 25-06, closely followed by the .300WM.

 

[MARKG]

Think mines .223 ,I have 2

 

[Pirate hunter]

7mm-284

Out of .17hmr, .22lr, 22-250, .308 and .375. I enjoy shooting the .17 hmr the most, its a brilliant little cartridge.

I also have some favourite cartridges that I've never even shot - the .17 rem and .358 win.

 

[Acm]

I shoot a .17 hmr , .22-250 and .308 . The hmr and 250 are tools and simply work , that's not to say I dont enjoy using them but you know what I mean . The .308 brings a smile to my face even just getting it out the cabinet . I love using that gun and if I could only keep one it would be the .308 . I love the way it hits so hard . However the.17 is a great little round on vermin

 

[Hootsman]

22/250 was my rifle of choice till I got my hands on .308 and that the gun for me. They could take the rest away and leave me with .308 and I wouldnt moan. The stopping power is great and it doesnt kick like a mule.

 

[darkstalker]

I love my 30-06 for the flexibility it offers me. The bullet weights available has allowed me to use it for all kinds of deer, boar, fox and twice on Bison (even though it needs a well placed shot). Reloading for it is great fun as you can possibly keep experimenting for ever!

 

[Brithunter]

Think mines .223 ,I have 2

.22 is the calibre .223 Remington is a cartridge

I also wonder why owning two rifles chambered for the same cartridge is it appears such an indication of favouritism.

If this was the case then one could claim that I have many favourites after all I own Three rifles in 270 Winchester, used to be four but one is now a .280AI, so that comes under both calibre and cartridge then there are three rifles in 6.5mm oe .26 calibre although each is chambered for a different cartridge. Then we have .30 calibre hmmmm well if we include 303 British, of which I own five chambered in and another in .303 IMP, as a .30 cal then I own the grand total of Twelve rifles in .30 calibre. Further if we lump the 7.62mm Nato in with .308 Winchester then there are four of those along with a 30-06 and a 30-30. Am down to only three 7mm's after having to sell off two DWM Boer Mauser's to help fund a vehicle change after the nice "White Van man" wrote off the car for me. The insurance payout was pitiful.

So as I said earlier I don't actually have a favourite calibre as I like a lot of them .
