44 Magnum is by far my favorite caliber.
I also really like
.223
9mm
303 Brit
8mm Mauser
and though I haven't shoot it much yet since I just got it, 6.5 Creedmoor is a great round that I really enjoy shooting.

7.7X58 is fun cause it is still mostly stock (missing upper handguard) and shoots 150 gr. RCBS @0.310" in little groups at 50 yards even with a HORRIFIC trigger (must be 20 #s).

Top 5 calibers for 2017, based on round count.......
1) 223 Remington
2) 40 S&W
3) 38 S&W
4) 357 Magnum
5) 22 Hornet
22-250 almost edged out the 32/20. And after a couple weeks' inventory of fired stuff, the 22 Hornet edged out the 32/20 WCF for #5. "Measure twice, cut once".
I managed to NOT fire one round of 9mm all year, though Marie emptied out a whole bunch of those throughout the year through her P-228. She can REALLY shoot that little monster.
22K Hornet, .223 Rem, .17 Rem, .204 Ruger, 17/222 mag, 17 HMR, .177 and 22 pellet rifles
Jeez.....I just loaded 1000 38 specials. 4.2 gr WW231, H&G #51.
That had better be my favorite.....at least for a while.
at the moment its 6.5 Creedmoor
that may and most likely will change at some point
Yeah, in a couple of years when the hype fizzles out and brass becomes a nightmare to find. Think: Winchester short magnum...LOL.
Not saying it's not an awesome cartridge cause it is, it's just that 'NEW' cartridges rarely survive. VERY few have come along in the last decade that are still around. None have ever seems able to knock the old work horses off their pedestal.
I am kind of boring. I like:
38 spl
44 spl
30-06 Springfield
308 Winchester
22 LR
357 Mag
22lr 357mag 308win
1.) 38 special
2.) 9mm luger
3.) 41 magnum
On at least 5 occasions would be 9mm, and 7.62x54R
But now that I have finished my first ever AR-15 build, I think .223 is going to make its way onto that list pretty easily. And I'm hoping to add 380 Auto in 2018 as well.
45-70
