What's your favorite oddball caliber to reload for ?

[jmorris]

I have been playing with 458 socom a lot lately but 7mm BR is nice because its not easy finding a load that doesn't shoot well.

32-40 for my Marlin 1893.

 

[savanahsdad]

32rem, not even listed in any reload books printed after 1964 , Speer #6 says use 32win data

25/20 Win. for my S&W revolver, 8x57jrs for my "go to" gun and 9.3x74R for my combi's and DR's... Also, 7x65R, 5.6x52R and a few others...

Not really an oddball I guess but MY oddball is the 327 Fed Mag. I really like it.

For me, it's .405 Winchester. Lots of fun to shoot, subtle as a freight train.

7.62x25 is the closest to an odd caliber that I load. I sure had a hard time learning the knack of not collapsing the case when seating the bullet. I finally discovered the answer which is seat in one operation and then crimp in the final operation. I was going to say the 9x18 until I realized a lot of guys load for it.

7.62 Nagant revolver

 

[Louca]

I'll join flipajig and second the 7mm TC/U

 

[Kosh75287]

ODD(ish)-Ball caliber.

Mine's the 7.62x25mm.

 

[swampcrawler]

357 max is the closest to odd for me.

I want a 256 win mag when I can afford it. (necked down 357)

 

[Kernel]

Rifled 20 gauge/.45 cal & 20 gauge/.44 cal paper-patched discarding sabot.

 

[4895]

8x56r

 

[limpingbear]

218 bee in an old Winchester 43 boltgun. It really likes the lighter bullets and its a good walking gun....and the only factory ammo I have seen in the last 10 years was 80 dollars for a box of 50. Needless to say....I reload.

 

[Bassleg]

Mine odd balls are 338-06, 243 and 22-250 Ackley improved and 222 Rem.mag.

 

[Scooter22]

9MM Largo, 8x56R Hungarian, .348 Win, 25-20.

 

[kudu]

.30-40 Krag, but I have put together some shortened 45-70 loads, 1.625" brass length, so they are legal for deer hunting in Indiana. The state lengthened it last year to 1.8" so I can squeak a bit more velocity out of any more I develop.

 

[RentaCop]

7x64

 

[TonyT]

40-70 Peabody What Cheer - formed from 11mm Beaumont or 43 Egyptian.

 

[MARKMALL]

For me ts the 358 Win. Itis hard to find factory ammo for it.

 

[lightman]

357 Herrett, 308 Norma Mag, 22-250ACK, 44-40. Lightman

 

[hovercat]

35 wsl.

 

[OV1kenobi]

For me, 7.5x55 Swiss (Schmidt-Rubin).

First post, BTW! Great website!

32 SWL - I can load it cheaper than buying .22lr ammo
about 2.5 grains of powder and a lead bullet about 85

Used to load 7mm BR Remington for an XP-100 - SCARY accurate to 200 yards and perfect for coyote to antelope to sheep to mule deer

 

[zxcvbob]

.22lr
