What Obsolete Ammo you want to see made again?

[KriegHund]

That one 7mm used in the british EM2 (forebearer to the SL-80)

here it is

7x43 mm (.280 British)

[Dr.magnum]

7.65 Argentine. Norma is about the only source for hunting ammo. Those old rifles are so well made and just begging to be shot!

 

[Mikee Loxxer]

7.5 MAS is what I would like more of.

I would like 7.5 MAS (and the magazine chargers for it) to be more available.

Abominable No-man they advertise new manufacture FNM 7.5 MAS is Shotgun News. It is not questionable. It is new manufacture and Boxer primed. Shoots great in my MAS 36.

 

[kfranz]

33 WCF

 

[dolanp]

Another vote for 7.5 Swiss. GP11 ammo is spendy, FMJ and Berdan primed. Norma price is stratospheric. K-31's are way too fun to be safe queens.

+1. I was disappointed that the Wolf Gold was more expensive than GP11.

It might still be in operation

Says they have brass or loaded cartridges.

Hmmm... I THINK it's 303 Savage... I'm sick of having my cousin whine about it and spending half the time at a gun show looking for a box

.450-.577 Martini-Henry.

At less than $5.00 a round, please.

Sometimes They Come Back

No, I don't mean the cheesy TV horror movie from the 90's, but sometimes once obsolete ammunition does seem to come back from the dead.

Look at the .405 Winchester, as an example.
Some may say that. as a sporting round, the .30 Carbine was born dead, but it's still alive and kicking for whatever reason.
And, IIRC, the .38-55 disappeared for a number of years, only to be revived and it's still selling.
Also, what's the deal with .348 Winchester? Sometimes there's a run of it, sometimes not.

In my opinion, some obsolete ammunition is just too good to die. Sometimes what is old becomes new again.

 

[tellner]

El Dorado's .30-30 jacketed hollowpoints.

 

[tom barthel]

obsolete ammo

.30-40 krag.

 

[colt.45]

id like to see some more of the 30-40 krag lever guns, i just think its a solid round. 10mm doesnt really count. A .41 long colt would be a fun exotic gun to shoot.

 

[bowfin]

MCgunner,

Okay, I won't say Activ shotshells either, because this is a rifle forum. But if it werent...

I have a Remington 5mm rimfire, so you know what I desparately wish they would make.

 

[White Horseradish]

Don't have any oddball rifles, but if someone would make 7.62 Nagant...

 

[Reed1911]

We have the 7.62 Nagant covered too

 

[bowfin]

Dr. Magnum,

Do you know that Hornady makes 7.65 Argentine Mauser ammuniton, sold through Graf & Sons?

They also make 7.5 French, 7.5 Swiss, both Japanese cartridges, 7.92 Kurz, and many more.

[gulogulo1970]

+1

41 Long Colt

 

[Dr.magnum]

Bowfin, thanks, I didn't know that.

 

[The Freeholder]

6.5x53(.5). Seen it called both.

 

[The Drew]

10.75x58r at a reasonable price, so I can try out my grandfather's war trophy... The russian Berdan II

 

[confed sailor]

hey chuck Fiocci makes 455 webley, i sucked it up and bought 200 rounds (120$ ) but now i have brass

 

[Dgranger616]

300 savage for sure. Yeah its still being made by a couple of company's its hard to find. Whenever I ask clerks they just look at me in a blank stare and never hear of it. What a shame

 

[Cosmoline]

6.5 Mannlicher-Schoenauer

 

[Brian Williams]

.310 cadet

 

[OrvilleYertleson]

Gotta be the Gyro Jet.

 

[Smith357]
