Not too odd but mine would be 7.62x54r and 35 Remington.

Just the old military calibers - .303 British, 7.62x54 Russian, 6.5 Swedish, 7.62x39 Russian, 7.5 French, 7.5 Swiss, 7.7 Japanese, 8mm Mauser. In handguns 7.62x25 Russian, 7.62x38 Russian, 7.65 French Long, 8mm Nambu, 7.63 Mauser. Reload them all too. The bullets for .303, 7.62x54, and 7.7 are interchangeable as are the 7.5 French and 7.5 Swiss. Using 30-30 load data I can shoot 150g .308 bullets in the 7.62x39. The 7.63 Mauser and 7.62x25 bullets are interchangeable (I use a .30 Carbine). I use a .32 acp bullet for the 7.62x38 Russian and the 7.5 French Long. Roadkill for the win! Good to see you on here

Good to see you on here Thanks but the only thing I ever won for free took penicillin to clear up. That was my girlfriend in Thailand. Won't ever forget her name - Number Eight. Or was it Number Seven? Down at the end of the line anyway.

I guess I’m the odd ball in the group. I DONT want an obscure round because availability of ammo, price of ammo, and I don’t hand load.
Everything I own is common.
I will own a 35 whelen tho You wont regret it I like mine

260 Rem I’m finding out. This lil 260 is the best 243 I have ever had. When the 6.5 Creedmoor came out it took the shine off the 260 Rem. It’s still a fine round. I’ve a few oddballs, one of which is a 300 Rem Mag, which I have not seen listed yet. There’s really nothing new anymore that hasn’t been done before in cartridge design. Despite that, as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life.
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

I have a Big Bore 94 in a .375 Winchester. Hard as hell to find ammo but you can shoot .38-55 out of it from Buffalo Bore. Not many of those lever guns around.
