    Don’t get me lying as to what the proper order for these is as far as round count this year, but...

    .22LR, .223, .308, .30-30, .45-70, .357 Mag, .44 Mag, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .45 Colt, 20ga, 12ga, and muzzleloaders in .32, .50, and .54

    I just grab whatever calls my name as I’m heading out the door.
    I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?

    Whichever one I am currently holding in my hands.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    I can say the only JB's were some handloaded '06's.So the following is CB's in random order.

    38/357(x4),44,with a small amt of .22's in revolvers.45 in a cpl 1911's.

    22/250... 223... 243(x2)..
    6mmRem... 7-08(x2)... 308(x2)... 30-06(x3,different rigs)

    Toss up between the "250" and 7-08 on the favorite.

    6mm 700V probably the most accurate from bench.

    The gun shop where I work has a 25 yard indoor range. I am allowed to test fire any caliber of rifle or handgun I bring into the store. Normally (for paying customers) any rifle caliber stronger than .223 is not allowed due to a history of repeated damage to the bullet deflector plates. This permission give me a lot of opportunities to test different firearms and calibers. Last week I took in a Winchester Big Bore in 375 Winchester to test a new load combination. One of the owners asked what I was doing with "that thing??" I immediately answered him with - "you've heard it before and may hear it again, but this rifle is my playmate of the week!" That got a laugh out of all the staff.
