What's your favorite round

I would like to shoot the 44 magnum endlessly

I was going to say 357 magnum....but thats too easy a choice, IMO and many others picked it.

So instead....the "second magnum", the 44 magnum is my choice. Choosing that because its more legitimate for hunting, anything that is, can be carried with 44 special SD loads, and the biggest reason is because I regard shooting it as much more a challenge than say a 357 mag or anything else because the bark, and bite can psych you out. Its no less accurate or uncontrollable than another round but because of the force, sometimes flinching and other mental errors occur. Since price isn't a factor, I would eventually master what I think to be a difficult round to shoot well with consistency. I also am shooting it out of older N frames that have presentation grips, without a muzzle break. I consider the 44 magnum to be more uncomfortable to shoot than my 460 XVR since the 460 is designed to lessen recoil, where as the model 29 and many other 44 mags are simply scaled up revolvers with no consideration for the recoil, unlike the more modern 44 mags of today. For the challenge, I pick the 44 magnum.
 
45 colt. Powerful, controllable, giant bullet, what more could I want?

Put me in the .45 Colt camp too. Just got a 4" Redhawk last month and getting antsy to run everything from cowboy plinkers to ACPs on moonclips to 335gr hardcast whompers through it.
 
475 Linebaugh for big things that would eat you
40 s&w for dumb things that would break into my house
12 gauge 3" magnum slugs out of a pistol grip only, just for fun
 
While I love running smoke through my .45 1911...

the .270 Win is my all time favorite. I used to use a 30-30 for deer but after running with the .270 for the last two years and dropping 300 & 440 yd deer with a single shot each I am sold. Of course the rifle helps too.
 
In semi autos it's a toss up between the 45 ACP and the 10mm.

In revolvers it's a toss up between the 45 ACP and the 44 Special.

Hmmmmmm...let's see. Maybe it's 45 ACP in both autos and revolvers and a toss up between 10mm and 44 Special for second place. (smile)

My old favorite and still a place in my heart even though the world seems to have left it behind: 44spcl

Hell i use to love reloading my .44mag to spcl. loads..could shoot it all day long and probably pretty close to .45acp performance.

Worst part was enduring blowing up the .44mags to get the brass...well not really :)
 
I really like 7.62x25 tokarev...tons of cheap fun.

9mm is what I shoot the most, and the .40 is a lot of fun to shoot alo...

haven't shot .45 enough to have a good feel for it..only shot a mags worth through an XD45 and didn't like the gun so i can't remember what the round felt like..
 
Here's mine:

1. 9mm. Hands down, 'nuff said!
2. 10mm. Great for when you think the 9mm won't be enough.
3. .38 Spl+. Sometimes I just feel like grabbing the wheelgun, some spare ammo, and go.
4. .380 ACP. I don't feel bad carrying it as long as it's in the right piece.
5. .22lr. For something I can go out and shoot the crap out of, usually to relieve stress over building accuracy!
6. .22short. This is my cheaper plinker!
7. .357 (mag or sig:D). It's for those "Flavor of the Month" days!
Last but not least:
8. 45ACP. Just 'cause everybody else seems to have one pistol chambered in it!
