Odd/Obsolete Calibers

[BSK]

Wildcat rounds - or rounds so hard to find they require reloading - used by my family: 7mmTCU, 357 Herrett, 357 Maximum. Also, my great-grandfather's Remington 32 rimless.

I've got a .338winmag that seems to have become obsolete. Used to readily find ammo over the counter but not anymore. I got it for moose hunting when I lived in Alaska. Haven't shot a deer with it but zero doubt it would serve the purpose.

Do any of you ever hunt with any off the wall calibered rifles?

I collect classic deer rifles and hunt with them frequently. Some of these rifles come in odd calibers that must be reloaded for or fatory ammo is scarce and pricey.

There is a particular pleasure that arises from hunting with a rifle from another era. Some of the calibers I have taken deer with are...

348 WCF
32 Spl
25-35 WCF
30-40 Krag
44-40 WCF
38-55 WCF
401 self-loader

I'm pretty sure I have a box of 30-40 Krag. It's old because it was my dad's

That's awesome thanks! I've not pulled that old thing out in years because it was getting so hard to find ammo, and now that I'm in TN it's too much gun for anything here.
