[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 2599197, member: 12387"] My only semi-auto pistol is a .38 Super - if it was good enough for Dillinger... :respect: I have accumulated a bunch over the years and always liked something different than the run of the mill stuff for some reason. I'm about to outgrow that after falling in love with an early flatbolt Ruger 77 in .308. I shoot & reload the following rifle calibers: .22 Hornet (sold this rifle, still have the dies I think) .223 .22-250 .243 .243 WSSM 6MM Rem .25-20 6.5 Rem Mag .270 .280 .30-06 .30-30 .32-20 .35 Remington .44 Mag I like wheelguns and load three varieties of .32 + .38/.357 & .44 mag/.44 Special My main open country deer rifle used to be my old Ruger 77 flatbolt 6.5 RemMag, but I think the .308 is just easier to feed and maybe a little more versatile. Gotta take a .30-30 to deer camp for hunting in the thickets and the .22-250 is kind of like my security blanket because it is easy to please on ammo and I've used it for a lot of things. In accumulating rifles I think my choices were more often made on the rifle and the caliber was secondary. Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
