GunFan's Favorite Hour of the Day

[azsixshooter]

I read a funny article once about a guy who loved the .357 Magnum so much he set his alarm to go off every day at 3:57 just to put a smile on his face. Now I find myself seeing cartridge designations on the digital clocks all throughout the day and night! For instance 9:19 (9x19mm), 2:23 / 5:56, 3:08, etc...

My question is this: What is your favorite hour of the day and how many firearms cartridges can you find within that hour? What is your favorite time within that hour?

Here is mine:

3:00 - 3:59

3:57 (.357 Mag, .38 Special)
3:38 (.338 Win Mag, .338-06, .338 Lap Mag)
3:08 (.308 Win, .30-06 Sprgfld, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 30-30)
3:00 (.300 Savage, .300 Win Mag, .300 Whisper)
3:58 (.358 Winchester)
3:40 (340 Roy)
3:03 (.303 British)

You get the idea.

Only rules I propose are:

-keep it simple, don't stretch the numbers too much. Either the time reflects a chambering (in caliber or metric or common name for a firearms cartridge) or it doesn't. If we include favorite bullet weights or anything like that it kind of becomes limitless and exhaustive.

-if you want to add to a previously listed hour then copy and paste the previous post and add to it so we can keep running totals.

I'm a 6.5x55SE fan, so it bums me out that is never 65:55

But I smile every night at 7:57 , close enough!

This is a good 7 minutes:

9:17 - 9x17 Browning Short (.380)
9:18 - 9x18 Makarov
9:19 - 9x19 Luger
9:20 - 9x20 Browning Long (obsolete)
9:21 - 9x21 IMI
9:22 - 9x22 (.357 SIG (a bit of a stretch))
9:23 - 9x23 Largo

Don't forget 9x25 Dillon!

Or 9x39.

Someday, we may even have it available here in the USA.

There is only one hour and minute I look forward to twice a day and it ain't gun related...
But there is a model of muzzle loader in that number and some cartridges are loaded with that many grains of powder
