    I ask in a different thread what was the best selling ammunition for handguns, rifles and shotguns.

    This will be for rifles only because I ran out of options so I tried to get the most popular I could think of included.

    Vote for any that are listed as many as you have.
    It will not show who voted so it is a anonymous poll.

    If there is a caliber I should change that might be more popular let me know and if it allows me to I'll change it.

    I'm going to assume 12ga is the most popular for shotgun.

    Agree with the others. Maybe add 762x39 and then consolidate a few of the lesser choices (for instance, the 6.5s). Maybe add a milsurp choice, i.e. 762x54R / Mauser / 303 / Jap?

    7.62x39? That's pretty dang popular.

    I voted, but I have a few more including the above that are not on the list.
    Yeah, definitely needs 7.62x39 added to the list.

    I cannot change this poll. So will start a new one list 10 more calibers to put in new poll for rifles.

    7.62x39mm
    7.62x54R
    8mm Mauser
    303 British
    6mm ARC
    6.8 SPC

    I need 4 more and these 6 can change if need be.

    Then we can have a run off poll of the top 10 calibers from the 20 that are polled.

    Here's the top calibers list, according to AmmoSeek. Not sure if that's the top selling, most "seeked", most listed, or what, but that would be a starting point for your second poll.

    Voted. 7.62x39 should definitely be on the list since it's around the 4th to 5th-ish most popular rifle cartridge based on Internet searches and past sales revenue. 30-06, as old as it is, is still somewhere in the top 10 also. 300 Win Mag and 45-70 should prob be on the list as well, while 6.5 Grendel, and 450 Bushmaster are down in the weeds.

    If I hadn't hesitated a few weeks ago about buying that used '71 Ruger model 77 at the pawn shop, I could've added .243 to my count :(

    I'd say 45-70 and 300 Win Mag also... then maybe other AR-15 compatible calibers, like 350 Legend, 458 SOCOM, etc.?

    I have these two:
    8x58R Sauer
    8.15X46R
    Didn't see anyone else listing them.
    I ask in a different thread what was the best selling ammunition for handguns, rifles and shotguns. That's what I'm trying to find out.
    This isn't about every rifle caliber out there, but the most owned by the majority of INGO.

    Do you think 8x58 Sauer and 8.15x46R are in that category?

    Don't forget to check this poll for more popular rifle ammunition.
