What's the most strange/uncommon caliber you've owned/fired?

[Cryogaijin]

Nothing particularly strage:

6mm remington
7.62 tokarev

 

[CantHitSquat]

.308 .... Revolver! Had a 4" barrel, 5 shot. Some weird thing a guy in Brazil had back in the 90's. Not terrible but wasnt a plinking gun either.

I've got a Remington 700 in .222 Remington Magnum. Its really only interesting because it is a dead cartridge. It is also expensive as all get out to shoot just for that reason.

7x61mm Sharp&Hart converted to .30 cal.

Built on a 1903 Springfield with a Weaver scope where adjustments are made at the rear ring.

Had to reform brass after sending a cerrosafe cast to RCBS.

1/2 MOA with Sierra 180's.

Previous owner couldn't get anyone to figure out what it was !

.445 super. A guy at the range had it and offered me a couple shots if he could take a turn with my rhino. It was amazing. Otherwise... 20mm.

Uncommon caliber? That would be 0.464".
Uncommon cartridge?...577/450 or the 7.62 MicroWhisper.

[slimjimriggins]

I owned and shot a 1914 Savage Model 1899 takedown levergun in 22 high power(5.6x52R euro designation). 70gr bullet at around 3000fps. Neat gun but I sold it when I discovered it ws keyholing at 25yds and had excessive headspace. Ammo was too expensive anyway.

 

[General Geoff]

Probably the most uncommon caliber I've fired is 6mm PPC. Happened to be sharing the range with a very serious benchrest shooter and he let me fire off two shots with his rifle. I swear that trigger would break if you looked at it wrong!
