[jwdeeming]

. 45 for pistol

30-06 for rifle

12 gauge for shotgun



. 22LR for "yard work" around the farm.



Common old standards, I guess.

 

[TPCDrafting]

7mm Rem. Mag. I only need one gun

 

[slavallee]

pistol . 45ACP



rifle . 308 win



tried and true

 

[emarsh]

oh heck it looks like I started something. I won't talk about my guns, just my ammo supply. I do enjoy collecting american made 22 revolvers however.

At one time when I was using my 1991 as my compitition gun the 45ACP was my choice. But now most of my shooting is done with the 40 S&W loaded to 10mm length in my STI.



In a rifle it would be the 30-06 or one of my 30 mags.

 

[lgibson]

Carry Para Ordance P10-45 or a S&W 44



Ruger Superblack hawk 44



30-06



338 stainless Ruger



22 rifle



Mossberg 12

 

[redramnc]

. 308 for plinking (expensive, but literally a blast)



30/30 for hunting where I can hunt with rifle

12 gauge otherwise (no bean fields for me, only brush busting)



. 50 blackpowder



9mm Hi-Power sidearm



Have been seriously considering an HK USP compact in . 45



Not a true caliber, but a compound bow for the quiet jobs



Biggest problem is not having enough time to stay in practice as much as I would like to

 

[MGordon]

varmits, 220 swift



Antelope etc. , 25-06



other north american game, 340 weatherby mag



target, 300 win mag

 

[DHRA]

All my handguns are . 40 caliber.

 

[nh2112]

7. 62x51, fired from my M1A and its 20-round mags

 

[BigUgly]

Big and Slow

I'm sorta from the big and slow school of thought.

. 45 ACP

. 45 Long Colt

12 gauge rifled slugs



"Make a big hole for the insides to go out of. "

Tough one!!

Favorite rifle caliber: . 270 fired through a genuine pre-'64 model 70 using Sierra soft nosed, Winchester primers, and 4398 powder. Un-real accuracy and knock down power.

Pistol would have to be . 480 Ruger or the Springfield Armory . 45 ACP in the 1911 bi-color.

Ron

 

[Idaho CTD]

Rifle: . 375-. 358STA on a SS Remington Action with a Schneider Hunter target contour barrel and a Remington Sendero Stock. 250gr bullets @ 3087fps and groups around 1/2" (3 shot)

Shotgun: A tough choice between my 1100 12ga and my BPS 10ga

Pistol: Probably my Beretta 92fs

I just got rid of a G20. It was replaced with a 1086. That 10mm is my only semi.
