Nope, but 308 based, so you will always have brass.
Neat. I once saw a custom 660 Magnum close to that. The laminated stock and plastic trigger guard discarded and replaced with walnut Mannlicher and shotgun style trigger guard. I couldn't figure out what I would use it for, so it stayed in the store for a while.
Load it down. A lot of the time, I will use starting loads. No need getting carried away unless you are really shooting Grizzly Bear.
I would not consider any of the cartridges you are looking to pick up as falling in the "obsolete" category. The 250-3000 and 257 Roberts may be less common, but I've known several folks that have and shoot them. 6mm Remington would not fall in the "little used" category (I have one), although they may not be as common as the 243 Winchester.
Hi...
Can only think of a few obsolete/little used cartridges that I shoot.
.45AutoRim, .357Maximum and .375SuperMag.
Least used rifle cartridges that I reload for are 7x57Mauser and .303British.
Naaa... all I load anymore is lower velocity cast loads for shooting steel, but sizing and flaring the neck with the M-die works the brass for sure.
My 250-3000 is in a Ruger 77 RSI with Mannlicher stock. They are hard to find in any action now.No chance the 22-250 will go away. I also load 300 Savage for a Remington 722. I have been looking for a bolt action 250-3000, but they now want custom rifle prices for those.

It is stunning the prices they go for on gun broker I can assure you I didn’t pay anywhere close to those prices. I got lucky as I walked in to my LGS and there it was on the rack. I traded another RSI in 243 and $150 cash for it as it had a Leoupold 2x7 scope on it. I much prefer the performance of the 250 as compared to the 243 but that is just personal preference as they both kill deer dead.Believe it or not, I just had one in my gunbroker watch list until a couple of days ago. I passed on bidding for it because I already have an 18 inch carbine in my safe and I didn't want to spend the bucks Ruger Internationals cost. Also, I wanted to bid on the M77RL Ultra Light in 250-3000 that was also in my watchlist. I ended up not being a player on that because it got out of reach in a hurry. It went for over $1400.
30 Remington to feed my brother's model 8. Nice little deer round....and just cool.
n. I have A Hornady #1 reloading manual that lists th 30 rem on the same page with the same loads as the 30-30 Winchester. Those were the loads I used with 150 and 170 grain round nose bullets.I have a 30 rem (NOT AR) but have not been able to find reloading data for the darn thing. If you could send me a PM and point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

You can actually find 45 Auto Rim? I am truly surprised.
