You forgot "FUN"

 

That would be a 22lr. Shoot all day for $10!

 

:D

I buy 1K rounds of .22lr at a time. When I'm at the ranch in NM, I can use all the rounds in one day popping prairie dogs! The most fun is trying to hit the bastards on the run at 200 yards.

(P-pistol: ) (R-rifle: ) (S-shotgun: )

 

CCW: .40

 

Home defense: (P: .45ACP OR .40) (R: .223/5.56mm OR M1 carbine) (S: 00 Buck)

 

Hunting:

--Small Game: (P: .22lr) (R: .22lr OR .22mag ) (S: .410[load depends on game] )

--Medium Game: (P: .460) (R: .30-06 or .308) (S: 12ga load depends on game and location)

--Large Game: (R: .700Nitro ) If you mean anything bigger than elk, a pistol or shotgun isn't really practical.

 

Competition: Whatever you're good with, or whatever the rules require.
