What Obsolete Ammo you want to see made again?

[Hand_Rifle_Guy]

.218 Bee.
.25-20.
.256 Win. Mag.
5mmRF Rem Mag.
.45 AutoRim. (Not the wrong forum, I want a top-break revolving carbine. Just to have.)
.225 Winchester.
9mm Mauser. (9 x 57)
9mm Largo. (For the Destroyer carbine.)
12mm Gyrojet.

And seconds on thr Remington Rimless series and the various WSL's. Ditto for the big-bore rimfires, too. (Specifically, .56-56 Spencer and .44 Henry Flat.)

 

[juicy]

8mm mauser.

tired of corrosive ammo and having to lug windex to the range

 

[Langenator]

7.92mm Kurz. And repro Sturmgewehr-44s to fire it.

 

[iamkris]

8mm Lebel...not because it was a greaat round but so I could shoot my grandfather's 1892 Mannlicher Berthier

 

[45crittergitter]

Shotgun shells for $2.99/25, centerfire pistol JHP for $6/50, deer rifle ammo for $6/20, and .22 LR for $0.50......

For 8mm, try Mitchell's... http://mitchellsmausers.net/ammunition/

 

[David4516]

.30-40 Krag

I know you can still find it sometimes (I think Winchester still makes it), but I'd like to see new rifles chambered for this caliber, and more ammo makers making ammo for it...

 

[Sven]

I'm with M2 Carbine:

5.7 Johnson, necked down M1 Carbine.

Have you taken a look at the prices Mitchell'sMausers wants for their stuff? Its all overpriced, and his ammo is no different.


Ehh, different strokes...

 

[Kernel]

6mm SAW, and some of the old rimfire cartridges, like: .44 Henry, .38 Short, and .32 Short. -- Kernel

 

[Colt46]

6.5X54 Mannlicher

Every once in a while someone makes a run of it. But, I'd like to see it at a reasonable price. Hell, I'd even like to see someone make bullets for it. That .268 diameter thing really makes using standard .264 bullets a losing proposition.

 

[Black Snowman]

15" naval AP and HE. I'd love to see those things going off in person but as far as I know all the old battleships are currently mothballed

 

[Biggun64]

25 Stevens Rimfire... I have a great old Stevens takedown that will really shoot. $50.00 a box is just too high for old stuff that may not even fire.

 

[45crittergitter]

8mm Mauser

Well, I know of four 8mm Mauser loads from Mitchell's, two from Century Hot Shot, and one each from Federal and Remington. I suspect none of these are corrosive. Maybe you can find one that's useful.

 

[Fudgie Ghost]

.325 Delinquinator

 

[Desert Dog]

.32 RF - for the Remington No.4 I have

Cheap 45-110... (yeah right)

 

[Moparmike]

45crittergitter, I use some Centry Hot Shot that I find at my local gun and ammo monger.


I also found a box of Federal (or Winchester ) at my local walmart, and even though it was exhorbitantly priced, I got the box. They also had two really old boxes of Remington .35Wheelen, a caliber that I never thought a wallyworld person would have heard of.

 

[Gatofeo]

.32 Long Colt --- for my Marlin Model 1892 lever-action rifle.
.32 Long Rimfire --- for my Marlin 1892 lever-action.
.41 Long Colt
.41 Remington for the little over/under derringer.
.44 Henry Flat
.56 Spencer
.35 Winchester Self Loading --- for my Winchester Model 1905 auto-loading rifle. NOTE: This is not the same as the more powerful .351 Winchester Self Loading mentioned earlier. The .35 WSL is it's father, and a slightly weaker cartridge.
.25 Stevens
9mm Browning Long

 

[mordechaianiliewicz]

.30 Tok

I love .30 Tokarev . Although there is some out there in milsurp, and S&B makes it, I'd love to see the U.S. manufacturers make it, along with some self-defence loads like a Federal JHP Hydra.

(And a Glock, Sig, Ruger, Walther, etc. modern handgun to shoot it would be in order too)

 

[beerslurpy]

-8mm Mauser.
-8mm Kurz (and Stg44s to shoot it).
-6.8SPC, so it would actually be a viable (read affordable) competitor to the other military rounds
-9x39mm because I SOOOO want a 9x39 suppressed AK

 

[LAK]

.338 Federal.

Since I just got one of the Swiss K31's, I'd just like some reasonably priced 7.5 Swiss. Hopefully with as many surplus rifles being sold, someday it might happen.

A Federal American Eagle load is on the cards. They are probably analysing Hornady 7.5x55 sales right now.

Me, I'd like to see some commercially made sporting rifles in this cartridge as well.

[McCall911]

35 Winchester Self Loading --- for my Winchester Model 1905 auto-loading rifle.

This is one gun that my wife wanted me to buy some years back at an Alabama gun show!


I wish now that I had bought this little rifle because it was in decent condition for its age and the price was right! And, well, my wife liked it!



But, like Gatofeo, I was concerned about the lack of ammo, so I passed it up.

(I know, I know: "Ammo wouldn't be a problem if you reload!")

 

[molonlabe]

.41 AE just as good as 40S&W and you don't need to buy a new gun.


Oh crap, This is posted in Rifle country.

 

[jeff-10]

I also would like the ammo makers to make some full power 8mm Mauser Ammo. While they are at it they can bring back the 8mm Rem Mag.

 

[Reed1911]

For those asking.......

We make and carry as standard items (of those listed):
7.62x25 Aka 7.62 Tok
.30 Remington
.32 Remington
.45 Autorim
9x23 Largo

All of the listed calibers above are well priced and a damn steal when compared to the prices that OWS and others charge. The .256 Win Mag is available (new this year) as well, and the cost will be going down as orders increase and we get the brass in larger amounts, the .375 Win is another addition this year it is priced and ready to go I just hae not uploaded it to the site yet, the .22 Jet and .218 Bee are planned additions, from the looks of it we need to revisit the .303 Savage. We looked at it a few years ago and there was very little interest. Any other calibers folk would like loaded just shoot us an e-mail. At whatever point that we see enough interest in a given caliber we usually place it in line for R&D.

 

[MCgunner]

Activ shot shells. Oh, wait, this is a rifle forum.
