Got you beat by a little bit. 21 calibers and 4 gauges, was 5 but I gave my 16 gauge shells to the preacher.

By the way, and totally apropos of nothing , the decimal point is only used for calibers measured in hundreds or thousands of an inch. .22 or .45. It is not .9mm, and it is certainly not .12 gauge.

Counting black powder? 27. Smokeless only, 21. There's a couple old timers, like my Spencer, and my Trapdoor Springfield that don't get shot so they don't count.

Reading your list is like reading a book. Someday I might have half that many if I am lucky.

I destroyed squirrels with my .22 pump (old savage clip-fed pump) peep sight, but after I got my hands on the .17 HMR, good lord, that thing is ACCURATE and deadly within the 100m mark. Walmart sells the Marlin 917's for something like $200 and change, got mine at a LGS but she is stupid accurate.
