Rifle, .223 and .308 win are real close.
Pistol, .45 acp.
Easily 30-06 for the Garand. In cast bullets it is 8x57mm. Handgun is probably 45 Colt.
Probably .30-06. Past few years 7x57 has given it a real run for its money.
For handguns, toss up between .357 and .45 Colt.
I've loaded for so many years that I can't give a single answer to rifle or pistol. For rifle there are 3; .30-06, .223, and .30 carbine. For pistol, there are 2; .45 auto and .38 sp.
