.40 (usually only enough to keep two mags filled for my glock, with a box of 50 spare)
.303 english (box of twenty and full mag for my 1944 enfield)

Thats my personal use anyway :)

.45 ACP
9mm Luger
5.56

7.62x39mm now and again and I've pretty much stopped shooting the .308. Too damn expensive to buy ammo for all of them.

What do I shoot? Mostly paper targets, milk jugs, beer cans (empty of course  ;) ), or any other useless things laying around.  :D


.22LR is what I've shot the most
.22 MAG I've recently shot when my uncle brought his over. I'm looking to buy one now  :)
9mm I've shot a little now
7.7mm, 7.62mm, 7.92mm all from various WWII weapons


REALLY want to get a 1911 and shoot some .45 ACP!

They don't need the AH bbs to track you Dago.

Maybe not, but they have it now to track all of you.

If the stinking traitors are tracking me, just means I'm doing something right!

5.56 through an AR-15
9x18 through a Makarov
7.62x39 through some form of SKS
7.62x25 through a Romian TT-33
7.62x54R through a 91/30, M44, 91/59 or M39
.32 Long or 7.62x38 through a Nagant Revolver
30.06 through a Garand

in that order. I usually try to avoid more than $200 on ammo in any single purchase.

I never answer these kind of questions.  No ones business but mine.

But, the BATF will appreciate your attempts to help them track gun owners.
I'm sure it's a lot easier for them to do that using the firearms' registration than by trying chance encounters on random internet bulletin boards.
In fact, I'm pretty certain

 :noid i am an evil aces high ammo counting black ops scary guy....wooo wooooo

I am interested in knowing because I want to start a ammo manufacturing company.  Nothing major. Just want to get an idea of what is lacking in the market and what is popular.  As far as tracking I think the government would be better off spending their time tracking gun and shooting sites than here.  Also the reason I want to start my own ammo manufacturing business is because even with the local guys in Montana churning out ammo my calibers are always on back order or at least 6 months out for even a 500 round box (one month or 4 visits to the range supply). Hand loading 9mm and 45 sucks unless you can get 600-800 rounds and hour.  So I figure If I make the investment for that type of equipment I might as well crank it out for others too.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Numbers-wise, it'd be the 12ga.  Quick and easy to go through a bunch of ammo.  I really only drag them out for a few boxes of practice once/twice per year though, followed by hunting.

Time-wise, and day-in day-out, it'd be the .54 (rifle mostly, but also pistol).  Those are the guns I shoot the most, and enjoy the most, but they're not rapid-fire...  I shoot @ 300 rds/yr of this caliber, and shoot them every few weeks.

Next it would be the
.270Win
.22-250
.75 (sometimes shot, sometimes ball)
22LR

I don't find the modern calibers all that challenging/exciting, so I mostly just sight in with them and occasionally hunt with them

I mainly hunt with my muzzleloaders (even during regular firearms seasons) and traditional archery equipment though.

Actually, I hunt with my birds more days/year than I do with all my firearms combined per decade.

They have the registration records.  Internet BBS's are their source for things not registered.
