    Every caliber that I own, shoot and reload for are my favorite caliber, if not, I wouldn't own them, shoot them or reload for them!

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Handgun:

    .45 ACP
    .357 Mag
    .38 Spl.

    Rifle:

    .45-70
    .38-55
    .32-20
    .357 Mag
    .308 WCF
    .30-40 Krag
    7.5x55
    .30-06 (Garand)

    I get to the range once or twice a week and, usually, take two or three guns so I could've missed a couple in the "5X or more" category but, except for a couple shotguns, everything in both safes has been out at least once in the last year.

    Sad to say I didn't get much range time this year.

    My 22 (finally got her fixed up) and my 177 air gun.

    Handgun wise it is 41 Mag, 45 acp and 22lr in no particular order

    Rifle wise it's 6.5 Creedmoor, 30-06, 22lr and 32/20 in no particular order.

    Lately I've been shooting my 480 a bit more now that I fixed the sight on my SBH.

    My favorite is 30/06

    By your definition of favorite it 30/30 ( cast ) and 9 mm Mac
    What shooting I was able to do,was when I was working up some new loads

    5 or more times this year? Everything I own! (6 rifles and 2 revolvers). When weather permits, I shoot every one, every week.

    None of the mentioned calibers five times or more. The only thing that I shot with regularity was the 9mm and .357..... although I did manage a range trip with my .44 mag and 30/06 a.i.
