What's you favorite obsolete or obscure round.

[GatorFarmer]

9x18mm Ultra/Police. I used to have a Walther PP Super so chambered.

 

[Beaver]

My fav is probably the 32 SWL loaded warm in my model 31 4" barrel. 9.3x62 is an excellent round for North America. I just traded for a 8x68. A very cool semi-big rifle.

My favorite is the 38-50 Remington Hepburn. Take a 30-40 Krag case and blow it out to .375, fill it with Black Powder and have fun. I have two Hepburns chambered in 38-50.

 

[29aholic]

32-40 WCF and 25-20

I might add 218 Bee

 

[chillypepper]

.32 s&w and .22 lr. the only two i have left.

 

[Farmer17]

.32 Magnum

.257 Roberts

10 gauge

 

[Wyo]

40-90 Sharps Necked. I don't have the rifle for it any more, but that was one hell of a long range round. I like the 44/40 in a '73 Winchester for plinking and jackrabbits.

 

[Gutpile Charlie]

I guess the only "obsolete" round that I have is the 8x56R Austrian.

I have about 200 rounds of 1938 head stamped Nazi stuff. Shot five rounds just to see how the rifle worked. I guess I'll just keep it.

 

[smithywess]

Quite a few. .44 Russian, .455 Webley Mk I and MkII ,.25-20 Winchester,.25-36 Marlin ( necked down from .32-40 Marlin-Ballard),.32-40 Marlin-Ballard, .38-55

 

[RON in PA]

7.62 Nagant for the Russian 1895 revolver.

 

[AKAOV1MAN]

8X56R in my straight pull Styer carbine, 32-20 in my M16(came with 2 cylinders), 405 Winchester(Teddy's big medicine) in my Browning 1885, and 30-40 in my 1898 Krag Carbine-was my maternal grandfather's, he carried it up the hill with Teddy's boys(they were supposed to be cavalry so they had carbines instead of rifles).

 

[cincinnatijim]

The .22 Winchester Automatic. Ammo was getting scarce in the 1950s. The last box we had was so old that there was almost no report when the rifle fired, the action of the rifle reloading was louder than the shot. That ammo was used in the Winchester .03. I always thought about replacing it with a Winchester 63, but the price of those was more than I was willing to pay. When I was a teenager I had a chance to buy a Winchester in .401 at a furniture store where I worked. My Dad talked me out of it. I'm not sure whether he did me a favor, but he did say ammo was getting hard to find.

 

[Texas Star]

Tossup between the .38 Super and .41 Magnum, with .348 Winchester as honorable mention.

I kind'a like the 9mm Browning long (9x20) for my Husqvarna m07.
Obsolete and hard to find despite it being a military round here in Sweden in the -50th.

 

[will5a1]

9.3x74R, in my single shot stalking rifle, I like shooting it but the RWS ammo is expensive and hard to get. I have to breakdown and buy a set of dies.

 

[Andy Taylor]

Although I do not currently own one I am quite fond of the .41 Action Express. One of these days I will get a Jerico 9/41.

 

[Muddyboot]

I should have included the .32 S&W Short and .32 Colt Short in my original post. Fun shooters in top-break revolvers.

.38 Super is not even in the running, as it is neither obsolete nor obscure. Hundreds of USPSA shooters fire Supers in Open Division every weekend.

 

[perrazi]

can't believe nobody mentioned the 22jet. ok, i will.
