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.

I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
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.
Collector and shooter of guns and other items that require a tax stamp, Lead and brass scrounger. Never too much brass, lead or components in inventory! Always looking to win beauty contests with my reloads.
at the moment its 6.5 Creedmoor
that may and most likely will change at some point
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
I am kind of boring. I like:
38 spl
44 spl
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.
When dealing with islam one should always ask themselves: "What would Leonidas do?"

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.
Currently in the process of developing the "perfect" cast .223 load for my AR-15. Click here to follow my progress
