For the purpose of this thread "obsolete" implies that they don't make the ammo anymore or they only make it in seasonal runs. I don't consider the .280 Rem obsolete but some might. Anyway the one that strikes my fancy is the .284 Winchester.

I have a 25 WSSM in a Winchester Featherweight and it shoots like a varmint rifle. I guess that ammo/brass is hard to find with the hoarding, and Winchester only chambered it 2 years. Brass really never stretches or cracks, and it is super efficient on powder. The short cartridge allows the use of a small receiver. I have no idea why it was abandoned.

MM ,,,for me, I would like to see the 9mm Mauser return.
In today's chambering it would be .358x57
Between the 358 Winchester and the 35 Whelen.

220 Swift - I guess it would fit into the seasonal run category. I know new brass is scarce on a regular basis.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

M M -
Yeah Buddy - 284 Win.
I have a 98 Mauser so chambered but "life" got in the way of getting it finished for this season. I plan to finish it after this Winter's hunting season.

356 Winchester. I'll be using one for the first time on Saturday. Should thump the deer pretty good.

.303 Savage and .220 Swift (although it's hard to consider the Swift "obsolete") Also .25-20

35 Remington for me.. I know they still make it seasonally but I dont see it hanging around for the long haul. Shame too. Lots of leverguns out there still in that caliber and it puts a good thumping on deer.
