Trimming your caliber collection

[Alan]

If you had to narrow down your ammo shelf to just your most-used calibers, which ones would you keep? I’m not talking about those quirky rounds or guns that are more for show, just the calibers you train with regularly. Share what platforms you use, how often you hit the range, and what functions they serve for you.

That would be a tough choice because variety is one of the things that holds my attention to firearms most.

Anything nato would be a great choice. Those old military calibers are available around the globe.

9mm, 308, 30-06, 223 — They cover any defense or hunting needs you may have.

I guess I'd narrow down to the obvious common ones like .22, 9mm, .38, .45 ACP, .223, .308. And .30-06 because I'm a Garand fan.
I'd probably try hard to keep 6.5CM for the LR rifle. Swapping to a .308 barrel takes only a minute, but life is easier holding off for wind using a 6.5.

I'd hate it, though. I want variety.

 

[Frontiersman]

Yes, lots of 22. You can’t forget that.

Keeping my .22LR, .357 mag, .44 mag, 10mm, .45acp, .45-70, 5.56, 7mm & 8mm Mauser, and .350 Legend.

I am getting rid of everything 9mm, all of my guns and ammo. Giving a 9mm pistol (plus some ammo) to each of my 2 oldest granddaughters and selling my other 9mm pistol to my daughter along with whatever 9mm ammo that I have left.
