Most oddball, rare, or bizarre caliber you reload

jonk
I could throw in a few entries...

8X60R Kropatschek
10.4X38R Swiss (centerfire conversion)
6.5X53.5R Dutch
7.62X38R Nagant Revolver (not really rare but a bizarre cartridge with the bullet seated on the powder column and the brass trim to length LONGER than the cylinder length)

Whatcha got?

    .22-6mm, 30 Gibbs, 300 Weatherby improved...

    .22-6mm takes turning the outside of the necks way down, so it is a pain in the a**.

    Years ago I loaded a 7.7 Jap with an 80 gr jhp 32-20 bullet on top of 70 grs of 4064, mv around 4000fps. Shot a can of water with it, the bullet vanished, so did the can.

    Yesterday, I found out how fun and easy it was to turn 30-06 brass into 7.7Jap brass. That's going to save me a bundle on brass.

    All I need to invest in is a neck turner.[:D]

    WOW, have I seen some wild ones here.
    I reload:
    6.5 TCU from 223 cases is the oddest
    30-06 for my Remington 74
    30-06 for the M1 Garand
    25-06
    270 with Nosler Ballistic Tips
    222 for my old O/U Tikka
    22 Hornet
    243
    7mm Mag
    300 Winchester Mag
    444 Marlin
    30-30
    22-250

    380
    40S&W/10mm
    44 Magnum
    45 Colt - Just getting ready for this one
    338 Lapua

    I have always been fond of Hornady stuff, but I use Nosler, and Sierra as well. Brass is whatever I can keep, beg for, or steal.

    Most recent is the 9mm FEDERAL (rimmed 9mm) for my Charter Arms Pit Bull. Also 7.65 x 53 Argentine Mauser. I have loaded tracers for my .30-30 and 150 grain Spitzers to make it a two shot tube feeder. Way ahead of leverevolution!
