    Oh, so you favor underpowered, unexciting, expensive and hard to find calibers? (JK) ;-)

        I have not yet began reloading it, but 6.5mm Creedmore has got me pretty excited. Shot a friends $6k build in Arizona with a suppressor and it has me thinking I might be able to actually learn long range shooting. Plus reloading and load development is going to be fun.

          And..

          It's a "reach out and touch someone" kind of caliber, especially when compared to 223 or 7.62x39.
          Yep, I mentioned favorite shotgun and pistol cartridge earlier, but I mistakenly left out rifle. For me it's a tie between .308 and .30-06

          .308 uses a shorter action, is cheaper, and lighter, and can be fired from an AR platform. .30-06 lacks those things, but it is magical and still not that expensive, so I can't decide between the two, I have equal numbers of rifles chambered for both. Some other rifle calibers of course have better ballistics than both of those, but the cost per round takes them out of consideration for me.

          Settle down, folks. The new "ghost gun" regulations probably don't do what you think they do.

            I own and use 9x19, .38 Special, .357Mag, .357Sig, .40S&W, .45acp, 10mm, .223/5.56, .308, and .22-250, and have reasons for each and every one, but the majority of my shooting enjoyment is in .22lr. I can walk into my back yard and safely shoot them without disturbing the neighbors.
