In order of quantity on hand at the moment:

.223 Remington/5.56x45
.22 LR
.308 Winchseter/7.62x51
.45 ACP

Pretty simple. Occasionally I'm tempted to add another one (currently .357 Magnum), but I usually resist the temptation.

I see no .45-70 on your list?

I noticed, a very auspicious lapse. No .357 Sig either, must be a noob.

Might be forgetting something, I suppose, but if I am, it's probably something I forgot in the back of a closet somewhere.

I DO have 15 rounds of 7.5 French, but I bought that mislabeled as 7.5 Swiss and keep it around as a curiosity.

consolidated during the ammo/component shortages to 22lr, 9mm, .308 and 12gauge (still kept the .410 and 20 gauge as their heirlooms) then added 300 blk a year or so later then a couple years ago I ditched 300blk and went back to .223.

here's my current chamberings
