I’ve been collecting for around 13-14 years or so. I started out when I was pretty young

Wow. Yeah, I'm a little late to the game. I have something to aspire to, at least!

The OP is looking for C&R calibers.

I had C&R calibers in mind when I made the thread, but a good portion of the ones in my 55 caliber collection are more modern stuff too (.300 blk, 5.56, 7.62x51, .40) so feel free if people want to list those too

I'm down to 9 now (it could be 10 if you count the 1911 in 11.25mm) , it used to be a lot more. I reload for all of them but 22lr.

One of the things about collecting C&R-Type firearms is that you’ll eventually have a ton of different calibers if you amass a wide-array of arms. I was bored so I figured I’d do a little count of how many I owned. I came up with 55 different calibers! Makes for a heck of a storage situation, and a headache if you try and reload for some of the super-obsolete cartridges like I do.

So, how many do you have?

I'm right behind you.... if you are counting longs and shorts as different calibers (and gauges which strictly speaking aren't calibers), than I'm at 53.

Doctor_M · Jan 30, 2018

Now I feel inferior.... I must buy three more odd-ball guns so that I can overtake MilsurpDan.... challenge accepted!

Biggfoot44 · Jan 30, 2018

By thel 50yr rule, 5.56 and 7.62x51 are C&R .

alucard0822 · Jan 30, 2018

This is what I am down to. Have thinned the milsurps a little, down to 1 rimfire and 1 muzzleloader caliber, have built a couple 300BOs for others, looking to build one or two in the caliber to keep this year.

I think that's it for the things that I shoot. If we want to get into things I don't shoot, it'll take more time to figure it out.

I put a * next to the calibers that are only for a modern firearm I have. The rest I have a C&R that shoots it. This brings to light that I have ZERO C&R shotguns. Hmmm I need to fill that hole.

Ohh, ohh... we are counting muzzleloader calibers? That makes 54.... I'm nipping at your heels, Dan!

Do flare's count??

Some of the Geco 26.5MMs are old enough since they started being produced in the 1950s...
