    I have my grandfathers 7x61 S&H and 7x57 AI. He loved the wildcat cartridges. Both are extremely accurate and bring back great memories when they come out of the safe.

      What 7 x 61 do you have? I scour the gun shows for that caliber.

      If I had the money I'd have Alamo Precision build a 7 x 61 and a 6.5 X 55.

          My father in law has a CZ (i believe its a model 527) chambered in 257 roberts.
          He trimmed the stock about an inch to make it a youth gun. Stupid accurate little rifle. My wife and her siblings learned to hunt with it. Glad he bought a dozen boxes of ammo for it years ago. I cant seem to find any nowadays.

            I had a 404 Jeffery built a few years ago. Lovely big bore.

              Hell you cant find cases for it if your life depends on it. Only reason there are 25 cal components is due to other 25 cal chamberings. Sad state of affairs....

                If 257 Roberts cases are a problem make some from 6mm Remington or 7X57. Same case just different bullet diameter bullet

                    Forgot a few,
                    Not obsolete but not common 338 Federal and 307 Winchester
                    have a revolver is 38 S&W which would be obsolete but still made in limited runs.

                    The 5mm Remington Magnum is a fun one that Agulia put som life back into a few years ago now have a couple bricks+ 4 boxes of Remington ammo for mine.

                    22-243 is no big deal since know have to make brass from 243 for it. 223 WSSM is hard at times to find ammo for.

                    7mm-TCU wildcat but forming brass is easy.

                        I've had my eye out for a shoot able 250-3000 for awhile now, wish that old Winchester chambered in 30-40 krag had been handed down and not been lost to an uncle addicted to pawn shops, an old 44-40, and my 22 hornet that's about as exotic as I got

                          Savage and Remington both re made rifles in 250-3000, I have seen a few but I thought they cost more than they were worth.

                            What you got that 40-82 in? Winchester 1886 or 1885 ?

                              That's another on I have wanted for years, is the 250-3000. I have also wanted a 22 Hornet, 22 K Hornet and a 17 K Hornet.

                                I don't know who the manufacturer was. It has very few markings on it and no names. I would like to find someone that could take a look at it and maybe tell me.
