i know i dont need all the types of guns i have but i sure do enjoy having them . . . R

What kind of speeds do you get out of the 223AI? What weight projectiles?

Always thought the 22 PPC would be perfect for me.

I have 22lr 1 for me and a youth 22 for my boys. 308,223 & my favorite 300wsm.
223 is suppressed and great for having my two boys come along. Starting to see more use. Still have my first centerfire which is my 308 was given to me by my parents 18yrs ago and has sentimental value. Doesn't get much use any more.

.22 x 2, .222, .223, .22-250, 7mm 08, 12ga, i think a .30-06 would round things out nicely

I just have a 22 and a 308. Don't really need anything else apart from a 12 gauge shotgun.

I have 22LR, 223, 7mm08, 308.

Having both the 7mm08 and 308 is a bit redundant so one of them will go at some stage, or maybe both will go for something else.

Had 22mag and 204 previously but neither were versatile enough for my taste so made way for the 223.

Currently have a .22lr, .270 win, 9.3x57, 12GA.

I also use my fathers .17HMR a lot so you could just about count that. I really, really need to add a light centre fire, a suppressed .223 makes the most sense. The .270 may be retired in favour of a .308 (my all time fav cal) in the next few years. Plus I've always wanted a 25/06....

Just a handful....

.177 Air Rifle
.22lr x 3
.223
7x64
.30-30
.308
20 gauge sxs
12 gauge sxs
12 gauge o/u

Still 2 to go to complete the calibre selection...

Maybe 3!

That is defeatist talk. There is no such thing as complete with the subject matter at hand.

Now take yourself out the back somewhere quiet and give yourself a good talking to.

You've only just begun on your 30 cal journey.

I was only talking 'need' haven't got started on 'want' yet!

There seems to be a small gap from 6 mm through 250, 6.5 that needs filling also, of course its possible youve already owned them and moved them on in which case its perfectly acceptable.

Nah, no interest in varmint calibres! The .223 is all I need for that!

My love is for big bores, plans are for a 9.3x62 and a .470 double if I can get the capex approved!

22,22mag,223,243,303 and 12g
I feel the need for a 44/40 or 45 LC, however

22,223,270,308,300wsm,8x68s,410,12gauge and they are all cackhanded models

8x68 is interesting.
like a go fast 35 whelen or something maybe a little smaller.?
