8mm Roth-Steyr and 32 S&W Short.
I love taking the Roth to the range and being asked what sort of 1950's space gun I'm shooting!
And the S&W 32 short is about as pleasant a cartridge to shoot as any of the "self defense" offerings of the late 1800's.
Kind regards,

I'd really like to have a 788 in 222 rem. I have a friend that has a 222 rifle... not sure the make or model however as its been a few years since I fondled it.
Always wanted a 351SL to go with my Model 63. Always hesitated because of the brass. Found out about a stash of virgin 351SL brass. Got beat out of it by what I thought was a friend that I told about it several years ago so he could resell for as much as he could get out of them. He bought them @ 10 cents each after I told him about them and who knows what he sold them for. I told him about the deal and that I wanted enough for my own use and he could have what ever was left. He went to the guy the next day and bought up everything, even after being told that I want some, he didn't care all he saw was $$$. Haven't talked to him since, and he doesn't understand why.

BA Wallace, that is another cool old cartridge I want to work with some day.

30 Herrett,22 K Hornet, 30-40 Krag,257 Roberts, 32 WS are all favorites. In my humble opinion they are like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one.

30 Rem for my 141. But if 222 and 22 hornet are obsolete then I guess my herrett and 35 rem and 256 win and 375 win and.... good grief, most everything I like is obsolete! Oh well I've come to think I'm obsolete myself.

When I hear or see "obsolete cartridge", I think of a round that is NOT currently in production. Many of those cartridges listed previously are readily available from suppliers. I don't really have a favorite (I like 'em all!), but I have guns for these: 25-25 Stevens, 43 Mauser. 43 Beaumont, 41LC, 41 Swiss, 45-50 Peabody, 40-50 SBN, 25 30 and 35 Remington, and many more.

Tools and parts are available for the 11mm Chessipot but I don't think there has been a cartridge made for it since the French adopted the metallic cartridge . So in all of my junk the 1866 Chessipot gets the nod .

There are a lot of cartridges that are only seasonal runs. Or lately they've been run only once in a few years time. While not gone they are close to it. 35 Remington and 300 Savage are two of my favorites that fall into this category. Both are impossible to find at times. More so w/ 300 Savage.
I'd have to say 356 Winchester is my favorite obsolete cartridge. What's not to like about 358 Winchester in a Marlin lever action. Have a lifetime supply of 356 brass and it feeds 308 brass as a bonus.

My vote is for the .250 Savage, or as it is also known,.250-3000 Savage. I am very fortunate to have had several accurate bolt action rifles in this cartridge.
Currently I have a Savage model 16 and a Ruger 77 in .250 Sav. Both are very accurate with cast boolits.
