Whichever I suppose but was meant to be about oddball calibers you shoot.Is this thread about guns one owns, or just name oddball calibers?

I've got a couple of rifles in 35 REM. Never thought it was an offbeat caliber until the great ammo panic of 13. It pretty much stopped being made by almost all manufacturers at the time so they could supply other more popular calibers, then went back into production afterwards. I have several hundred rounds of it now - just in case - and have 200 rounds more ordered. It is a good caliber for hunting out in the woods with fairly close in shots. Probably make a decent hog gun, I may find out when I next go hunting.Remington 141 in 35 Remington that I used for deer. Also have 41 magnum.
Ammo Seek shows a few manufacturers of it currently - HSM, Hornady and Winchester.Used to shoot a friends 218 bee at times. Wonder how people come up with ammo for those now?? Friend died so can't ask him.
450 may not be on the shelves but ammoseek lists a decent variety from various manufacturers in at least a few different bullet weights. I am not trying to say it's not offbeat - heck, I never heard of it before today but it is available if you need it..450 Bushmaster, not exactly available on the shelves these days and there has never been much variety of flavors for it either. Which is why I sold my .50AE, with which funds I purchased the 450. I still really like it though.

A couple of boxes of it are currently on sale at GunBroker but while they say it's new ammo I cannot attest it is factory loaded:If you ever run across any factory loaded .225 Winchester let me know.
Natchez has some .If you ever run across any factory loaded .225 Winchester let me know.
Is that the round for the Nagant revolver?.223 Wylde lol
Hmm, in truth the most offbeat that I shoot is the 7.62x38R (Nagant). PITA to find at good prices and difficult to re-load the right way.
I can't believe nobody has the 45GAP
.38 S&W, not easy to find, so I have a tendency to hoard it when I can find it. I inherited my grandfather's Colt Bankers Special revolver (s/n dates to 1921) with his original black leather holster.
7.62X38R is for the Nagant revolver. It is the only revolver I know of that can be suppressed/muffled.
I have one of mine with a 1/2-28 threaded barrel.
Failed that one, damn.Thanks, but that's 38-55 Win., with a bullet weight of 225.
Doesn't GAP in the .45 GAP stand for "gay and proud"?We're nuts, but not crazy!
