Which rep range contributes to the most hypertrophy of calves?
I've watched videos of two big bodybuilders, Jay Cutler and Hunter Labrada. Both bodybuilders start with the premise of "your calves are being used all day long...". Jay Cutler finishes with
You got to train them like every other body part. If I'm doing high repititions when I walk, why would I do high
reptitions in the gym? (Demonstrates with 10 reps)
Hunter Labrada finishes with
It takes more stimulation and reps to train than any other muscle. (Demonstrates with 30 reps)
Which bodybuilder should I believe? Jay Cutler is a far more successful bodybuilder than Hunter Labrada because Jay has been Mr. Olympia 4 times, but both guys look much better than I'd ever hope to be.

There are unfortunately few reliable studies about rep range for hypertrophy, but I have always heard that calves require more than average, with ranges from 15-30 based on weight used in that set.
