Do the best you can, with what you've got, where you're at. -Theodore Roosevelt
Was 22-250, then became 30-06, then .308. Presently .223, .357 and 40-65 BP. The calibers followed my changing pastimes from hunting to competition.

I have probably loaded more 7.62x39 than any other 2 or 3 calibers combined.
.30-30 is creaping on it now.
I've loaded easy twice as much 9mm as .45acp. But I have 3 9mm guns total, only 2 in .45acp and one of those is fairly recent.
Long term both the .32sw long and .32acp are going to give the 9 a run for its money.
Thrifty on lead, thrifty on powder, less recoil, less muzzle flip, less noise and more accurate.
30-06 and 38 Special.
Well it’s 303british and 9mm Luger for me
Handgun, nothing I've ever owned or loaded for is remotely close to the 45 Colt. Rifle....Toss up, 300 Win Mag or my 45-90
The old 32-20 accounts for an awful lot in handgun and rifle so combined it would be close.

Recently......30 Rem, 43 Spanish, 11mm Werndl and 45-70. Historically.... 30-06, 9mm, .40, 5.56 and 7mm-08. My tastes are changing....

Rifle, 30-06, Pistol tied between .38 special and .45 ACP.
for a rifle, 444 marlin. for a handgun, the 44 special.
2nd rifle is the 30-40 krag but the 35/30-30 is hot on its heels.

Right Now I'm loading more 6mmBRX than I care to admit. It is almost a chore. used to be the 243 Win. & 22-250 Rem. & 357/38 spec. & 45 ACP.
38 Special
Then 45 ACP

I load 7.62x39 for my rifle and then definitely 9mm for my pistol I load 2-3k a month of 9mm
The two for me would be 223and 9mm
Really hard to say. 30-30, 30-06, 308, 38Spl and 357mag all somewhere near the same.
