Favorite to shoot - ammo cost be Da**ed!

[absolute0]

Let's pretend for a moment every handgun you own is as inexpensive to feed as a .22 revolver - ie ammo cost is trivial.

Which one(s) would come out for an all day range session, to send 300+ rounds downrange?

Personally, I'm a sucker for .22 caliber handguns, so many of my favorites already qualify. But if I had an unlimited ammo budget, my Python would certainly get A LOT more range time

444 Marlin Contender hands down. Not sure if I could run 300 rds in a day tho', even if ammo was free.

 

[Ala Dan]

Browning BuckMark

Sheesh, I wish I could say something extravagant, but I'd probably just run 230 grain ball through my Kimber until one of the MIM parts broke.

You know most of my "favorites" are .22s so ammo cost is not really part of the equation.

I guess my most favorite ammo cost be damned is my Enfield No.4. .303 isn't uber expensive but it isn't surplus .308 either. I won't run corrosive through it so I have been running S&B at roughly 11.99 a box.

+1 for .45 ACP

I haven't shot a lot of different ammo, but really my 9mm is still my favorite just for paper punching. The .40 cuts nicer holes but don't care for the snap.

My friend's AK however is a lot of fun too...

 

[psyopspec]

For handguns, .45 Auto.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

.41 Magnum Ruger Blackhawk (3-Screw)

Favorite to shoot? My M1 hands down. Bring me truckloads of .30 -06, I'll shoot it all day!

As for handguns, my 1911s are the favorite there.

.45s and .357s get expensive to shoot all day. But I love 'em.

 

[Black Majik]

*ahem* I believe we are in the Handgun forum. Who mentioned the M1??

For me, my favorite caliber of course, the .45 ACP.

 

[OEF_VET]

It's a tie, between my Para Ordnance Colonel and my Ruger MkII with suppressor. I could easily spend all day at the range, shooting either of them.

 

[trickyasafox]

9mm with some hi caps and a good ol 45! also my encore in 7-08

 

[meathammer]

*ahem* I believe we are in the Handgun forum. Who mentioned the M1??

Yeah, someone had already mentioned an Enfield, so I figured what the heck? My bad.

Another vote for 45acp. Send me a pallet of Ranger T and I'll be happy.

 

[Tory]

Easy - my SVI "race gun"

Hand-loaded .38 Super because factory stuff doesn't even cycle the slide.

So hellaciously LOUD that even OTHER Open Division shooters complain, it will drive anyone else off the range!

 

[Bill2k1]

I would shoot trap I guess if you consider birds as ammo

 

[Kramer Krazy]

For handguns, I'd have to pick 45 ACP for my Colt 1911s. The $20 per 100 rounds limits me from shooting it as often, and as much, as I'd like.

For rifles, I'd go with either .223/5.56 for my Ruger M77 and two ARs, but .308 would be really nice, too, as I like shooting my SA SAR-8 (HK-91 clone).

 

[bytor94]

I would have to split it between my .45 1911's and my 10mm Dan Wesson. Maybe a little bit of shooting both at the same time ala Hollyweird?

 

[Lennyjoe]

10mm

 

[firesafety3]

Para 16-40 Limited and my Bushmaster.

 

[mtnbkr]

32acp out of my P32. I love shooting that gun. For longer distances, I like shooting 38s from my GP100. For even longer distances (50yds+), I like shooting 357s through that same GP100.

I'm with Meathammer, bring on the Garand.
For handguns I like my M28
