What Is The Most Offbeat Caliber You Shoot

[SQLGeek]

Nobody's said 6.5 Grendel. I shoot that pretty frequently. I love that round.

But how often do you shoot 7.5x55mm is what the folks at home really want to know.

I don't consider it offbeat because I shoot it all the time.......torturing you.

I can't believe nobody has the 45GAP

Came in here to post that caliber actually.

45 GAP
30-30
44 Mag

Those would be the oddball calibers in my collection.

I guess 36 caliber (.375) is 'oddball' now but I hear it was common about 150 years ago.

My granny gave me this one decades ago. I shoot really light loads in it now.

Just a little.

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.

Brass is available and I cast bullets from an original Winchester die...low pressure so the brass lasts and lasts

My 8x56R, 7.62x38R, and 9.3x57 are all pretty off beat. None of them hold a candle to 10.4x38R known more commonly as 41 Swiss. It's a heck of a process to make the brass out of 8mm Lebel, the rifle has to be converted from rimfire to centerfire, and did I mention it's a black powder cartridge?

If you don't reload, the round is a no go. I think some place was making it a few years back, but IIRC, it was over $100 for a box of 20. I don't remember if it was rimfire or centerfire. You can buy centerfire brass for about $2 a piece.

I think that I got my 41 Swiss brass from Buffalo Arms at $30 for 20

I don't think you understand what oddball means.
