I intentionally try to keep my cartridge list as short as possible. There are some guns that I haven't purchased just because I don't want to reload another cartridge ex. Dan Wesson 715.

Cartridges that I own a gun for but have never shot:
.32 rimfire
.30 Mauser

Why? the only two I could use in Ohio was 20g or .22lr, everything else was bow and arrow!:eek::cool::barf::barf:
My apologies to the OP!

Your 45 ACP and 38 Special are both legal for deer handgun season if they have a five inch or longer barrel (and rifle if you have a carbine chambered in them). I have killed a lot of groundhog with the 22 WMR when I lived in Ohio. I have killed a lot of ground hogs with a lot bigger center-fire rifles in Ohio too. 7mm Rem Mag is quite the groundhog killer. With Ohio allowing straight wall cartridges for deer hunting you have quite a number of new cartridges you could use if they interest you.
 
Not a very long list for me (yet).

.22 Short
.22 LR
.22 Magnum
.38 Special
.357 Magnum
9mm
.223/5.56
.308/7.62x51
7.62x39
7.62x54r
.30-06
12 gauge

That's it for now, but I'd like to add the following in the future:

.45 ACP
10mm
.45-70
7.62x25
300 Blackout
6.5 Creedmore
300 Win Mag
.30 Carbine
.303 Brit
9x18mm

Maybe:

.40 S&W and .357 Sig if I get a Glock 22 or 23 with a .357 Sig conversion barrel
.45 Colt if I ever decide to get a SAA in the caliber it was made for!

There are some impressive lists here.
Those listing all three of the 22’s, short, Long, and Long rifle. You actually have a gun in all three chambering.? Even more impressive.

.22s are very addictive, especially once you find one you like. Its hard not to want to try them all. I would go so far as to say that .22s will be getting the job done long after I am gone.
 
I agree. Tween rifles, revolvers and pistols I have a dozen or so. I’ve never owned one chambered for anything other than 22LR. My Ruger Mk2 and S&W 41 see the most use.
