I'm really not sure where this question came from, I was just thinking it would be fun to ask. What I want to know is what caliber do you own one or more guns in? For example,
I have .22, (as of monday) .17 hmr, 12 ga, 20 ga, 7.62x25, .40, .45, .38/357 5.45x39, 7.62x39, .308, 7.62x54, 30-06
While I may own more than just one gun of a certain caliber, I'm just curious as to your caliber diversity.
:)
 
Just took an inventory of firearms today, so this one is as easy as sorting my excel sheet:

12 gauge x5
16 gauge x1
22 LR x4
22-250
300 AAC Blackout
300 Win Mag
30-06
38 special
40 S&W
45 ACP x8
45 Colt
5.45x39
5.56 NATO x14
5.7x28 x11
50 BMG x2
7.5 Swiss
7.62 NATO x7
7.62x39 x12
7.62x54R x2
7x57
8x57mm x4
9x19 x5
 
Having consolidated calibers, I'm sitting at:
- 12 Gauge
- 7.62x39
- .243 Winchester
- 9mm Parabellum
- .45 ACP
- .22LR


The only ones I've got any interest in adding are 7.62x54r, .30-06, 10mm, and maybe .357 Sig.
 
.22 short, long, long rifle,
.222 remington
.7.62x39
.7.62x54
.308 winchester short action
.300 weatherby
16 gauge
12 gauge x 2
10 gauge
.22
.32 S&W
.38 S&W
.38 special
.9x18
.40 S&W
7.62x25
Hopefully either a 10mm or a .357 soon

I've been actively working to winnow mine down to a useful set from a very eclectic batch some years back and am pretty much there.

.22lr
.38/.357
9mm
.45 Colt/.454 Casull
.480 Ruger/.475 Linebaugh
.223/5.56
12 ga

The .454 & .475 more or less are for the same purpose but I have two fine guns, one in each caliber. I may try and work a trade to consolidate and go with one or the other. I may also add a larger CF rifle round sometime, but no need for it thus far for my uses.
 
.22 LR
.25
.380
.38
9mm
.357
.40
.45 ACP
.45 Colt
10mm
.223
5.56
7.62 x 39
.308

and 12ga.

Manny;

I actually had to look that one up. If you were going for eclectic, good work. :)

After looking it up, "Holy Crap"

That's a handful of a cartridge.
 
I try to keep it simple and stick to main calibers, or at least ones where I can find ammo readily.

.22lr
.380acp
9mm para
.38/.357
7.62X39
7.62X54r
7.62X51 nato
12ga.

That's it.
 
I feel like mine is out of control to a degree ... NO NEW CALIBERS UNTIL I HAVE A GUN ROOM

rimfire:
22short / 22lr / 22wmr

handgun:
22tcm / 32acp / 7.62x25 tok / 9x17 / 9x18 / 9x19 / 45acp

rifle:
.223/5.56 / 7.62x39 / 30-30 / .30carbine
shotgun:
20g

===

I know others have a more diverse collection, but mine has to live in ammo cans in the closet, under where I hang my clothes ... and I probably missed one or two in the above list (ones I add in after will be in red, I already realized one that I forgot)

I honestly have little desire to add any other calibers. I don't care for .40s&w nor do I hunt any large game species.
 
17cal rimfire
22LR
22mag
25acp
30-06
35rem

That's my go to reason for a new gun."But honey, I don't have one that shoots that."
