it would be easier to answer what I don't have.
No 416's or NE rifles.
I have .223s, a .22-250, a .243 Win., a .250 Savage, a .257 AI, a .270 Win., a 7x57, a .280 Rem., a 7 Rem. Mag. a .30-30 Win., some .30-06s, a .300 Wby, a 7.62x 54r, several 8x57s, and a 9.3x62.

That's 9 different calibers and 15 different chamberings. I don't want to confuse Caliber with Chambering. And also, I don't count the Mosin as the same caliber as .my other .30s because all my American .30 calibers shoot .308 diameter bullets and the Russian shoots .311s.

Sorry I made this post this long, but I'm too Anal when talking guns to be simple and straight to the point.

Something I failed to ask at first. Did you mean Caliiber as in bore measurement or Cartridge the rifle is chambered for as in .308=bore diameter of a .30-30, .300 Savage, .30-06. OR cartridge chambered for as in .308 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, .300 Savage, .30-06 and so on? Big difference there.

I took it to mean cartridge not bore measurement. But I wasn't sure.

Yeah, your check's in the mail, Oswald acted alone, & I'll respect you in the morning too. What have the Quislings actually done this year other than ride coat tails & try to take the credit? Last year? Oh that's right. They agreed that red flag laws could save lives & that there is no real "sporting" use for bump stocks, oh & sent out weekly pleas for more $$ as they hemorrhage members. You can keep cheerleading for them if you like, though. My dollars go to my state organization who's actually doing things for all of us. Flame suit is on.

There's been a rash of boating accidents around here lately. It's almost like the devil's triangle over the deep part of the lake.

Well, mine just took a big hit. I'd sort of been wanting to cull and about half of them just went down the road.

Yep, I don't like buying new chamberings, especially a new caliber anymore.
That leads to new
Dies, and other tooling
Brass, and bullets.

At a minimum, better than $150 extra to start with a new round.
And I just can't justify that with ammo boxes full of
bullets, and boxes of equipment already on the shelf.
Bout a half dozen from .172 to .54 in long guns.

.22 to .40 in handguns.

One great big sumbitch that momma likes but never put the measurements to it!!

I don’t have as many rifles as most poster because I’ve tried to focus not repeating chamberings and getting one good rifle for each that I’m interested in (plus it’s made it a bit easier to come up with explanations as to “why do you need another gun?”😀).

I’m sure the gun grabbers will love to search through threads like these one day. They probably are already- lol. The government already knows much of what we own anyway. You don’t actually believe they follow the law and discard purchase/ownership records do you? Anyhow, with the exception of my semi autos (AK-AR), I own three each of the following. 22LR , 12 gauge,
30-06,8mm(two are 325wsm), 30-30 and over a dozen handguns. Apparently I believe in not one but two backups for each cartridge-lol.
God Bless the 2nd Amndmnt ! And America!!!
I sold all of mine in a garage sale!
I know what you mean. Mine all got stolen- some time in the future- LOL

Who gives a [bleep] if they know what I have. They come after them they're gonna see a few up close. From the end they'll see, they may be able to guess chambering from the bore size.
4...

I had five before I took that damn boat ride!
Only 10,but I foolishly sold a few in my young and foolish days. Still got a few nice rifles,though, and none of them are safe queens -- all of them are hunters and shooters.

That's right, they need to know what awaits unconstitutional behavior! ; ]

Yep, I don't like buying new chamberings, especially a new caliber anymore.
That leads to new
Dies, and other tooling
Brass, and bullets.

At a minimum, better than $150 extra to start with a new round.
And I just can't justify that with ammo boxes full of
bullets, and boxes of equipment already on the shelf.



I'm not there yet though I can see one day culling back to a few of my favorites...as if I could pick any favorites. The recent dispersal merely opened room for "new to me" out of production, obsolete and obscure cartridges and rifles to find, purchase, play with and study. Yeah, I'm weird....

I don't own any calibers. Of course, I've been in on developing a few (most notably the B-29) but they are in the public domain and everyone is free to use them.

What the hell else do i NEED?????????????
and we just had a tragic accident and they fell in the lake and everyone of them drowned and were unrecoverable.
Calibers or rifles chambered for certain cartridges???
It seems most replies are the later.
