Here I was trying to recall whether the .45-70 or the .44-40 is older - and of course it doesn't matter because Hickory is right.
My oldest would be 22 short.
My newest would be 17 HMR.
Pretty interesting that oldest and newest would both be rimfires.

[AZ-Stew]

.22 RF and .40 S&W.

When I started reading this I wondered how many posts it would take before someone got around to the .22 RF. I couldn't believe it wasn't in the first or second post.

Stew

[MtGun44]

Oldest - that's easy.
I shoot an 1866 Rem roller in .50-70. Hard to top that as I think it may be the first
central fire cartridge with the .22 short, .44 Henry and .58 Trapdoor rimfire preceeding it, along
with a bunch of VERY confusing (at least to ME) 56-56,52-56, 56-50, 50-52 or whatever (!?) large
rimfire cartridges for the Spencer, Triplet & Scott and such Civil War carbines. :-)

Was .50-70 the first central fire cartridge?

Newest?? I guess I'm pretty old fashioned. . . . . . . prolly 7-08, or maybe .223. Nothing
REALLY new has piqued my interest lately.

Old- 22 short.

The oldest I shoot is the 45 ACP (1904; John Browning), but nipping closely at its heels is the 375 H&H that I shoot as well (1912; The British company: Holland & Holland). As for the newest cartridge it would be the 454 Casull round (1957; Dick Casull and Jack Fulmer). I really like bigger chunks of lead flying around. :bigsmyl2:
Springfield XD tactical: 45 ACP
Savage 116 Alaskan Guide: 375 H&H
Ruger Super Redhawk: 454 Casull

[mooman76]

Oldest would be 45-70 Trapdoor

I'm just guessing on the newest but probably .223 DPMS AR/ Mini 14/ single shot NEF.

[southpaw]

Oldest- 45-70 trapdoor reproduction. Pedersolli ( sp? )

Newest would have to be my 500 S&W

[Ed Barrett]

Oldest; 45 Colt
Newest; 454 Casull

I fire them both in the same gun.

[45 2.1]

MtGun44;891839 Oldest - that's easy.
I shoot an 1866 Rem roller in .50-70. Hard to top The Springfield Armory civil war conversions to 50-70 were very early, if not first (Model 1866), specifically the Allin conversion from 58 muzzle loader to lined 50-70..... which I shoot. The trial rifles for the 50-70 tests from various suppliers were in there also. that as I think it may be the first
central fire cartridge There are several examples in the Tower of London on individual iron cartridges fired by a percussion cap for repeating firearms.... where that nipple is I don't know, but the first drawn central fire cartrige case was the 50-70, Benet primed of course. with the .22 short, .44 Henry and .58 Trapdoor Model 1865 rimfire preceeding it, along
with a bunch of VERY confusing (at least to ME) 56-56,52-56, 56-50, 50-52 or whatever (!?) large
rimfire cartridges for the Spencer, Triplet & Scott and such Civil War carbines. :-)
