Most commonly owned THR "obsolete" caliber.....

.32-40 Winchester

280 Rem. .348 Win

You should include .358 win

I'd add the 22Jet

Only obsolete cartridge rifle I have is an original 1874 Sharps "A" sporting rifle in .40-70 mid-range. But I've got dies and brass for it.

'loose

I don't have any of those, been thinking about a 221 fireball. I nominate 32 special and 35 remington .

Another 35 remington nominee here.

I amazes me how hard .250 Savage ammo is to get, thank goodness for .22-250 cases !

You've got the 280 listed twice.

I'm not sure I would agree with how some calibers are grouped together.

I nominate the 25-35 Winchester.

Can't list them all, it's a good list.

I only had one on that list, .300 Savage.

I don't own any of those yet, but I have brass and dies for 6mm Remington and the action that will become the rifle. I've also got a Savage 110 that will become a 280 Rem AI, but I don't think that counts as a 280 Rem. One of my unicorns is a Savage 99 in 250-3000. They show up for sale quite often around here, but they usually disappear almost instantly.

I found that out the hard way. Just assumed it would be easy when I bought the rifle at the shop. Then found out that cases were scarce as hen's teeth. I had to buy antique ammo just to be able to shoot it. Then Remington did a run of their factory load, then I borrowed some cases for a few months. It wasn't until I had the rifle for a year before I had a good supply of cases.

I voted 221 fireball, but would've said 8x56R too.

.35 Rem (also .257 Roberts and 6.5x55, All three aren't easy to find at times.)
.41 Mag (Same here, .41 Mag ammo isn't on the shelves at many of the stores I frequent...)

I don't currently own any of those, but the 280 is one of those rounds that I've owned in the past and liked. You didn't include 35 Rem, but I do own one of those. It is probably closer to obsolete than 280.

Although this thread is under "Rifles", I do own a .32-20 Colt Army Special Revolver.
I own no "rifles" under the calibers listed.

My .348 is still alive and kicking... and I keep it pretty well fed, too.

Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in .280. One of my two go-to deer rifles (other is a 700 in .243).

I was hoping to see the 220 swift and the 7-30 Waters and the 257 Roberts
