243, 8 mm, 458
7.62 Tok in an AR SBR
458 SOCOM Bolt gun ( In Process ), 458 SOCOM AR is done.
357 B&D in both a lever gun and revolver
Also
8 ga metallic shotshell in an M203 shorty ( Think Hall way Blunderbuss )
300 BO in bolt gun ( In process)
9x39 bolt gun
50 BMG in a Barrett semi auto...with plenty of ammo, magazines, components, and a complete reloading outfit.
327 magnums...with a MARLIN 24 inch Cowboy rifle, a pair of S&W model 16s, and a pair of RUGER Blackhawks.
10 mm...replacements for the 5 inch S&W 610s I traded off and a pair of S&W 1006 autos.
I think I have done this before but it would certainly be the ..38/40 and the .32/20
Those are the two that I had in the past that I am longing for..
Maybe a .338 Lapua for a long range rifle .
Two different worlds..but I would love to have guns in those calibers..
I will probably settle for a nice 6.5 for long range work..
I am very interested in long range target shooting.
The old Sharps as well as modern day cartridges.
It is a fascinating art..
I would never bet against the Sharps..

Well, I got my .50 BMG barrel the other day, so I'm one step closer to a wildcat based on that cartridge. The barrel is not tapered and 1.625" in diameter, so it weighs enough that one could argue that it is closer to artillery than a "rifle".

6.5 anything under 16 ga barrels in a Drillings

I have or had just about anything I've wanted so the ones on my "to do" list are 338-06(being made) .460 maybe .500 in a lever action, 450 Alaskan built on a M71 action.

Armed people don't march into gas chambers.
1-.338 Lapua
2-.50BMG (not sure I could afford to feed this beast)
3*- .327Fed/mag CARBINE
*-I own a Taurus model 3272SS, 6-shot .327Fed/mag snubbie and I love it, but I would REALLY like it if someone would offer a lever gun in .327.
I'd be all over that.
I would love a 50bmg but can reload 338 lapua for half the price and not give up much for range or stopping power.
My .50 BMG barrel is going to have the first 3" rechambered in 12-gauge and then the cast bullet will be shoved into the chamber touching the lands separately. I'm thinking I can reload it for pretty cheap.
Using the Lee 450 gr mold, I'm looking at $1.29 per 20 rounds.
Using WC860, I'm looking at $56 / 8 lbs. Figuring somewhere around 200 gr per cartridge, that would work out to be $0.20 per round or $4 per 20 rounds.
Using shotgun primers instead of arsenal primers, I am looking at $0.03 each or $0.60 per 20. I might end up having to make it a duplex load by putting a couple of grains of a fast powder right above the primer in order to get the WC860 to start burning acceptably.
That makes it $5.89 per 20 rounds so far.
Not sure if the plastic shells can be reloaded after being shot at this pressure, so assuming that they can't, that would mean I would have to factor in the cost of the shells at $6/100 or $0.06 each or another $1.20 per 20.
That would bring it up to $7.09 per 20.
That's pretty cheap considering what the guys that shoot the actual .50 BMG end up paying, I think...
