Most oddball cartridge you load for?

I was forced to start hand loading when I bought a 338/06. I kept it a few years, liked it well enough, but came to the conclusion it didn't do anything I couldn't do with my 30-06. I sold off all the oddball stuff and simplified my life a few years ago.
 
Not that rare, but I have seven old WWI & WWII vintage European pistols in 7.65mm/.32acp that tend to need feeding on a regular basis. So I reload those Lilliputian rounds to save money and challenge my Redding powder drop and scale's accuracy.
 
.357/44 Bain & Davis with rifle bullets. 243 LBC. 475 Linebaugh. I have given up on loading some of my more obscure stuff, focusing too much time on other pursuits, but I’m set up to load a few oddballs like 38-55, 45-90, 6.5-06, 338-06, 22 K Hornet, 458 Lott, 7 Mauser, and a few others...
 
Nothing too far out there, 454 casull (not common but not odd either). 338 lapua mag (also not ultra walmart common, but it is mainstream sort of)
I could easily buy ammo for either, if i could afford it.
 
30 HRT made from 6.8 brass shortened a little and necked up to 30cal for the ar platform.
277 wlv made from 223 brass kinda like the black out but a little longer case,using 277 cal bullets for the ar platform.
 
The Most obscure I load for are 445 supermag, and 357 max, also 460 Rowland. You might call 450 marlin obscure as well but I also sold that rifle so I haven't loaded for it in a while.

So many interesting things...
 
I convert 32-20 cases for use in my Nagant revolver.
Me too. I also use the original style brass which is totally not worth it.
To all you people calling 8x57, 7.7, and 32 Winchester oddball, you can go kick rocks. They were the most common cartridges next to 30-30 that my friends had when I was growing up.
