.22 Hornet AI and 25-20 single shot Are my uncommon ones.
Me too. I also use the original style brass which is totally not worth it.
To all you people calling 8x57, 7.7, and 32 Winchester oddball, you can go kick rocks. They were the most common cartridges next to 30-30 that my friends had when I was growing up.
I could mention several one-of-a-kind oddball wildcats I load for, but one legitimate factory caliber that I load, the .400/.360 Westley Richards Nitro-Express isn't all that common either.View attachment 826166 View attachment 826167
Amen.This is a dangerous thread. It's reminding me of some very cool, forgotten calibers out there that I might just need to have to be different.
Yeah, I agree. I have handloaded those myself.7.62x39 (I don't think it is too common to handload...)
Uncommon I guess, certainly not obsolete or worthless.
I was joking.Perhaps "oddball" is too strong of wording. But you don't find those cartridges for sale at Walmart and I have not picked one up at the range in 30 some years. A friend sent me a ziplock bag of brass that he collected at deer camp for me and it contained five 7.7's.
