Default Caliber?

Almost.... Merry Christmas!

My favorite calibers are .224, .308, .429, .452 and .458, .500. Those are the calibers of my most loaded and shot cartridges: .223 Remington, .30-06 Springfield, .44 Magnum, 45 ACP, 45-70. The .50 caliber is the BP caliber that I shoot most often - a flintlock rifle, both flint and caplock pistols.
The last favorite caliber is .223, the caliber of the .22LR cartridge.
And 12 gauge....what caliber would that be? Maybe .715" - .730"?
Pete

PS - Y'know....the 44 Magnum is a good example of how caliber (.429) and cartridge are not the same thing.

9.3x72R, just wanted to make sure I was first with that one.

Pretty whitebread, .38.,357 9mm .45ACP .223 .308 .30-06 and 7.5 swiss. My favorites and covers the whole collection I think.

16ga shotguns, more purty than my 12ga utilitarian guns.
