Odd Calibers

[rc]

Anybody shoot odd calibers? I shoot 17 mach 2, 9mm largo and 32-20 sometimes. What are you hardest to find calibers you like to shoot?

Hardest to find.. .22lr

At least right now it is

Sorry, no odd calibers for my rifles.

 

[GeauxTide]

6.5-06 and 338-06, custom throated.

My oddest caliber I guess would have to be 6mm remington. Not that odd but it is obsolete. I used to shoot factory ammo in it and it wasn't super hard to find, but I load for it now. The only other obsolete caliber I own is .35 remington. I also have a 16 gauge shotgun that is hard to find shells for at times.

I currently shoot the 6X47 Rem, .250 Savage, .300 Savage, .338-06, .358 Win, and .35 Whelen. I have owned at one time .223 AI, 6.5-06, .280 GNR, 8mm-06, and .375 JDJ. The short list of cartridges I want to try .358 Norma or STW and 6-204 Ruger and maybe a 6mm Dasher or XC.

300 Super, improved 300 Weatherby Magnum

375/338 Win Mag, for me it is easier to neck down 458 WinMag than neck up 338 WinMag.

 

[8MM Mauser]

7.92X57 (8MM Mauser) is my only "odd" caliber weapons. Performs roughly like a 30-06 and can be had for about the same price from Prvi-Partizan. I do worry that ammo may not be available someday...

I have a Remington 40XB that is re-barreled to the 6mm/250 Savage.

[TATER]

Hmmmm,
256 Win Mag, 221 Fireball, .22 Hornet and .38-55..a few others.

 

[tahunua001]

reading through this thread it's kindof interesting what some people consider odd. 8mm mauser, 22 hornet, 303 british... those are just about as mainstream as sporter cartridges as you can get.

 

[Mike Irwin]

.25-20 and .32-20.

 

[Ozzieman]

Granted I haven’t shot it yet but I am working on the gun (missing one part) so I can shoot light paper cartridges.
58 caliber Burnsides.

 

[WIN1886]

25-35 Winchester.....well , factory ammo is available at a hefty price hike !

9MM Largo Star Super A

Star Model A Super in 9mm Largo

Don't shoot it as much as I like due to ammo availability:{

I agree. I didnt even mention my 8mm mauser as one of my oddballs. Ammo is pretty plentiful for it as are brass and bullets.
