So I did a search and its been a while since this thread has made its rounds so I figured why not?

With this one, lets see your caliber footprint, but at the end, add a possible addition if you were to add a new round to the stable.

I'll kick it off...

.380 acp
9mm luger
45 ACP
357 magnum
38 special
5.56 NATO
7.62x39

30-06 Springfield
410 gauge
20 gauge
12 guage

Addition:
375 H&H

All in all maybe five of them represent 99% of my shooting and hunting, some are curiosities, some are rarely used calibers for specific purposes. There are still a few more on my shortlist, mainly .338Lapua, .50BMG, .500S&W, 9.3x62 and .270Win.
 
Because I reload, I don't shy away from calibers.
Here goes my list:

.22 LR
5.7x28
.32 ACP
.380 ACP
9MM
.38 Super
.38 Special
.357 Magnum
.40 S&W
.45 ACP
.45 Colt
.223/5.56
6.5x50 Jap
6.5x52 Carcano
6.5x55 Swede
.30 Carbine
300 Blackout
308 Win
30-06
.30-40 Krag
7.5x55 Swiss
.303 Brit
7.7x58 Jap
7.62x39
7.62x54R
8MM Mauser
10.47x41 Vetterli
.410
12 gauge
Don't think I missed any.
ETA: Yep, I did miss a couple...
7.62x25
45 GAP
And, I have dies and some components for:
6.8 SPC (loaded some for a friend)
300 Win Mag (was going to load some for a friend)

Now, I think that's it.

And what would I add?
Don't know... Maybe an Argentine Mauser 7.65x53 or a French MAS 36 7.5×54? Maybe a Carcano in 7.35? Or an export Mauser in 7x57?
Or would it be a Makarov in 9x18?

Hey. Did you hear that? It sounds like singing, very soft. A kind of small, quiet call. Six?!? Yes, I hear you!
It's Six Creedmoor. She calls to me, I... I can not resist... so beautiful..the music.. is.. I... must find... her. A savage.. I.. must..



AAAAHH!!! She got me!

Well it is Christmas, Dadi needs a present too!
 
In centerfire rifled barrel guns,

.25 ACP thru .577 BPE with quite a few calibers between.
Shotguns are all 12 gauge.

Latest additions are rimfires, so nothing new caliber wise.

Mostly .22LR, .38 Spl and 7.62x39. Plenty of 12 ga, too.
About a half a case of .223, which is a lot for a bolt gun.


A smattering of other rifle calibers, .357 mag, 9mm and .380 ACP. Two or three boxes in a caliber you (almost) never shoot is plenty. Mostly minimalist by choice.
