Most oddball cartridge you load for?

[Mule]

9mm pinfire
I only have 12 pieces of brass

Oh, since a few have mentioned it, I'll add the Russians 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r as well. I've loaded for the x39, but haven't for the x54r yet. Another one that I have brass, dies, components for, but just haven't loaded yet. The x39 is used in my SKS and in my ARSKI x39 upper for my AR. ARSKI doesn't like the steel case fodder too much, so have to feed it my reloads.

Be sure to try some of your X39 bullets in the X54R if you're not shooting severe distances or heavy game. I've had excellent luck with the Hornady Vmax .310 and Barnes Frangible 108 grain in X54R. Outstanding accuracy and very impressive on reactive targets such as ice blocks, old veggies and water jugs. .243-like results with very little recoil!

This was prone at 9 below, 100 yards with an M39 and Kentucky elevation. Would be much tighter off a bench, shooting for base group rather than center.

Maybe not as oddball as some, but 44-40 WCF is my oddest. No cowboy action shooting, just plinking with my Ruger Vacquero and Rossi M92.

6.5 x 257 and 7x57AI, both Arisakas --- 38 S&W Long --- 348 Winchester (4-digit s/n, first number is 1). Oh, and 8x63 Mauser too. The 6.5 is a tackdriver....

I guess my most unusual load would be the 243 WSSM. I began loading them because they were so hard to come by. I even found some 25 WSSM's, I bought four boxes pulled em, them resized to the 243 and they work great.

I’ve heard of most of the other rounds, but what is a 38 S&W Long?

 

[Jesse Heywood]

My most unusual is 44 Colt blanks Cases made from .30-30 brass. I have also used brass from 5 in 1 blanks, but case head has to be turned down to fit the cylinder.

Predecessor to the 38 special. Shorter and less powerful.

.25-36Marlin!

M1893 Marlin made in 1915. Ammo discontinued after WWI.
I use .25-35Win brass and dies, and form brass from .30-30 ofb.
New Hornady 110gr FTX is splendid! (Handloads, not factory).: I also cast a 89gr NOE fngc to duplicate the low velocity factory load.
