Just wondering what everyone's favorite caliber is.

Edit: Sorry for so little options....Just post in your reply if you favor the .22 or .40 S&W, etc etc.

WTF? No .22LR? Blasting pop cans all day for $15 doesn't appeal to anyone? :cool:

For handguns I'd go with .40S&W -- best compromise between the .45ACP (power) and 9mm (capacity)

Rifles I'd have to go with .30-06 or ".30 caliber rifle" as they called it back in the ol' days

.470 Nitro Express wasn't in the poll.

.470 fits my Best Quality Holland and Holland boxlock double rifle with automatic selective ejectors and single selective trigger I've had since I was a young man back in the seventies, in my dreams.
Elmer Keith, Peter Hathaway Capstick and I used to cull elephant herds back in those days.

Or, I guess .22 long rifle rimfire would be the more realistic choice since that was the only caliber I ever actually won a first place trophy in handgun competition.

I like 'em all!

I have to say the personally I would take any caliber available if it ever came down to needing to defend myself. Of the one's listed, I like 'em all even though I think that 7.62x54r should have been on there!. I voted for the .338LPM because it makes me hot:thumb:..there's something to be said about a round with very similar ballistics to a .50 but the round weighs half as much...if the economy holds out long enough I plan to buy one for my collection!
