What's your next caliber choice after 10mm?

For me it is a toss up between the 45acp and 357 sig.  I really enjoy shooting both and these two are very different shooters.

What is yours?

The next caliber for what?

For me 10mm is a specialty round, not a primary round. I got the 10mm to replace my 2" 41 mag revolver. 15 rounds is better than 5, and the energy from a G20 is close to that of a 2" 41 mag revolver.

I like shooting both the 9mm and 45ACP. 9mm is cheaper than 45ACP, but the 45ACP guns feel better in my hands because I have large hands, and guns made for 45ACP have larger frames.

My next specialty round after the 10mm would be my 357mag 4" revolver.


.

I like .40 for practice and EDC with S&W Shield.
But my next favorite pistol caliber is 300 BLK. Have 12.5 AR pistol

After the versatile 10mm, I shoot 9mm as a second choice at this point in time. Always open minded towards a different caliber to grow with experience. G20 gen3  G19 gen4. G43

44 Remington Magnum

The SBR runs pretty decently now. Likes hot ammo, no doubt about that. When it's full of crud, powder puff rounds are no go.

357 sig or 357 mag.  Toss up

.357 sig or .400 corbon

45 auto

For me I like the S&W .44 Magnum and the .357 SIG.    The only issue I have with the 357 SIG is reloading the 357 SIG case is very hard to do without crushing the case neck.    The 40S&W is fun to shoot to .  I have a SIG P226 and can change out barrels to fire either .40S&W or 357 SIG.

Dr. Dave have you tried the Dillon 357Sig dies for loading?  I use the Dillon, yes they are expensive because the dual carbide sizing sections.  I use an RCBS 9mm expander for the case neck expansion and to uniform the tension.  I also do the same with the 9x25Dillon cases.

After 10mm, probably my two .357 mag revolvers. I am totally happy with the speed of the bullet, the wide range of bullet weights I can use, the types of bullets. But mainly the fact my normal practice round is a 148 grain DEWC load using a mere 2.8 grains of Red Dot powder. I once calculated I could make 20,000 rounds of these with one 8 pound jug of powder. That is a lot of cheap practice ammo. Takes me a while to shoot that much as it is in either a 6 or 7 shot revolver.
