Calibers I own, I own for a reason. Often, it's a consideration of effectiveness/versatility Vs. availability.

.22 LR - rifle I got in high-school. Great for small-game hunting and pest control

12-ga - first gun purchased in my name. Apartment defense, versatility of multiple ammo options

7.62x54R - Rifles at big 5 for $70. Cheap ammo availability, good brush rifle.

7.62x39 - Cheap ammo for plinking, semi-auto, good all-round backup rifle. Bonus: already had cleaning kit for it.

.308 - more power than x39, detachable mags, better for hunting. Still same cleaning supplies.

.45 ACP - Needed a good handgun. .45 is a proven round, that is (in theory) widely available.

.38 Special - Sig. Other needed a self-defence gun, .45 was too powerful for her. Got the gun REAL cheap.

Variety is the spice of life. Are all calibers necessary? No, but each round in combination with the rifle serves a unique purpose.

30-06 (for my M1 Garand, but I've only shot it about 20 times)
7.62x51
5.56x45
22LR
45ACP
9x19

Next on the wish list is a Mosin so I'll be adding 7.62x54R to that list in the not too distant future. After that I want a 7.62x39 and/or a 5.45x39. I plan on sticking to the more common calibers in my future purchases.

That's about it. Nothing special, just lots of it.

Oh yeah, and your obligatory 22LR.

Oh, double yeah, and your obligatory 12 ga, 20 ga and even some 410 and 16 gauge laying around somewhere.

I reload every reloadable thing on the list.

Many of you have more selections than online ammo distributors.
