What's your favorite oddball caliber to reload for ?

[horsemen61]

Ok guys most of us have one at least that one different caliber you know the oddball the one that isn't so Mainstream for me that is my 6.5x55 swede but everyday it is becoming more mainstream so I'd have to say my 6.5x284 Norma is my most odd so what is yours?

 

[Jesse Heywood]

.32-20 is as close to an oddball as I get. Almost fell into obscurity, brought back by the cowboy shooters.

 

[Gunner11]

577/450 Martini Henry, 500 gr lead, 85 gr Black powder kaboom!

 

[MaterDei]

Is 300 Blackout oddball?

 

[FROGO207]

I think that 25-20 single shot for a Stevens 44-1/2 rifle is the most oddball for me. I have several others that are not common like 33 WIN, 500 NE, 44 AMP, 8MM BM and such but I like the 25-20 SS the best (more challenge).

 

[PhotoBiker]

6.5 Swede and 7.65 Argentine.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Not that oddball, but I'm in love with 9x23 Win at the moment.

 

[472x1A/B]

.25 acp and 11mm Mauser

 

[cfullgraf]

38/45 Clerke

 

[highlander 5]

40/65 Winchester.

 

[oldpapps]

8MM Nambu, my dad's war trophy. Haven't fired it since he passed almost 14 years ago.

Newer, not as obscure, .300 AAC Blackout.

 

[Vacek]

30 Remington

 

[Offfhand]

.400/.360 Nitro Express for my Westley Richards double rifle.

 

[flipajig]

7-30 waters and the 7 TCU. Both a pleasure to shoot and easy to size and load.

[ReloaderFred]

9X25 Dillon and .45-120 Sharps.

I have almost all of the old Winchester calibers, .25/20,.32/20, .25/35 etc. I also have an old .17 Ackley Hornet that is hard to make brass for.

 

[44vaquero]

.357/.44 B&D or my grandfathers .32/.357 wildcat. Both are loads of fun and reach out with authority beyond their size.

 

[rodinal220]

32RF

 

[tyeo098]

30 Carbine is oddball haha.

7.62x39 in steel cases with cast lead. The caliber is common, reloading it is not

 

[beatledog7]

I've tried to keep my cartridge reasonably "standard." The closest to an oddball I load is .257 Roberts.

 

[threoh8]

6.5x.257 (.257 Roberts necked up to 6.5mm, for use in a rechambered Type 38 Arisaka)

I have made combustible "cartridges" for .36 and .44 percussion revolvers. Does that count?

 

[warhwkbb]

I reload for Winchester 401 self-loader as well as 348 Winchester.

 

[PJSprog]

Until I found this cite, I was for years under the impression that my (1895) 7x57mm Mauser was an "oddball" caliber. It's increasing unavailability of surplus ammo is what got me back into reloading after a few years hiatus. That's about as close to "oddball" as I get.

 

[Reloadron]

38/45 Clerke

Now that was one slick round. Short life till the necks split but a really cool round.

Mine would be 6 PPC tight neck when I was into it years ago. Starting with Lapau 220 Russian (still have some) sizing, neck turning and fire forming the brass. Still have the tools but haven't made any in years.

[Mac45]

I guess my "oddest" would be the .38-55
