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

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.

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.

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.
