None. I’ve consolidated everything to .223 and 9mm. Except for my hunting guns.

No shotgun?

How does it work? More calibers = easier to trade and shoot various calibers.

Sort of this. I've eliminated .40 from my stable and almost eliminated .45. I can't get rid of my USP .45 because it is my first handgun. I did add a beefier spring to make it a .45 Super though. That means I'm down to 5.56, 9mm, .308, 6.5 CM and .45 Super.

I went the opposite way.

Since the country went off the deep end last year I have gotten rid of my random calibers to focus on .556 and 9mmm.

I still have a few random rifles, .325 WSM, 7mm Mag but that's it.

Last year I sold everything I had in .45, .380, 30/30, 6.8 spc, and a few others.

I also dumped some higher end shotguns and stuff for more tactically sound weapons.

Seemed like a good idea at the time, guess we will see.

None. I have plenty of chamberings to address all my use cases.

I could put two or three more suppressors to good use. And I'd like thermal or night vision--currently lack either of those.

Got out of 380 and added 22WMR and Grendel.

There are no new calibers I could add.

Picked up a Mosin, Ruger PC9 and a Henry .357/38.

If you already have all the calibers, then you don't need to add more...

Zero is running away with it. I think for good reason.

I almost started selling 300blk ammo...but about that time, I stumbled on a pretty nice new 16" barrel in the EE from a good guy. Glad I kept ammo. It's built and needs sighted.

Zero.

I've always wanted a 10mm 1911 but I don't think that will be happening, now. 45 Super ain't bad, though. I had a bunch of Buffalo Bore in 45S before the plandemic, thankfully.

Zero new calibers. I did however sell everything I had and upgraded my AR’s and stepped into the suppressor world.

Posted: 5/15/2021 12:56:12 AM EDT

[#21]

One, but I already had some of that ammo stashed away.

I plan to add another very soon, but I have a small amount of that stashed away too. I have no plans to add any more after that, ever. I’d like to consolidate to tell the truth, but I’ve already sold everything that I’m willing to sell.

That falls under my “hunting guns category”. I’m a big time bird hunter, so I have all kinds of shotguns in 12, 20, and .410.

Consolidated further and am getting ready to sell a .308 and get out of that caliber entirely as well.

Posted: 5/15/2021 1:14:00 AM EDT

Not new to me but I got back into 45 colt and 6.8spc.

Posted: 5/15/2021 1:29:08 AM EDT

.224 Valkyrie, 30-30 and 28 Nosler.

One. I finally got my 6mmXC finished.

Posted: 5/15/2021 1:36:50 AM EDT

.22 magnum cylinder came with a Ruger Single Six. It's fun!

Posted: 5/15/2021 1:37:35 AM EDT

.308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.

No need anything else than what I've maintained and accumulated all these years. I would go with another caliber of pellet gun like .177 cal but even pellets are hard to find.

Posted: 5/15/2021 1:50:48 AM EDT

Only one, A .44 special that was an unplanned target of opportunity.

Posted: 5/15/2021 1:53:32 AM EDT

I got back into airsoft. Does that count?

1. Added some .45 GAP just because it was really cheap. Will shoot through my .45 ACP revolvers.

Posted: 5/15/2021 2:02:15 AM EDT

[#34]

Zero. You can't get so for anything why would you add a caliber?

I have one for my (cheaper) 22 revolver and never tried it. By all accounts, it will be more accurate. Alas, I have no ammo on hand. I may have to go ahead and overpay to have some 22 mag. Because why not?

None, because I already have something like two dozen different calibers in my collection. Everything I added I already had one of just out of chance.

A new ammo type doesn't ever bother me.

Edit: I lied. I added a VEPR 6.5 Grendel, so one new.
