probably the .45-90, since I have two of them... ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/highwall45-90_zps6f10abcd.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/Shiloh45-90-sm_zps9038fcc0.jpg) Honorable mention to the .351 Winchester... ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/cull%20buck%20amp%201907%20detail-crop_zps6rsyrywr.jpg) but I'm still working on that ancient beast, the .270 Ingwe...

The .30-40 does work pretty well, too, in a modern rifle: ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/30-40no1with8point_zpse1bcb448.jpg) or, with moderate loads, in an original Krag ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/doekrag2010-med.jpg)

I have an affinity to obsolete rounds, my safes are full of them. Most have already been mentioned- 25, 30, and 32 Rem, 219 Zipper, 22High Power, 303 Savage, and 351 WSL- but a couple others are 401WSL, 35 WSL, 45/60, and 32/40. I guess one could include the 38/55 and 25/35 considering how available ammo currently is.
My real darling is the 6mm Lee/Navy though I have yet to load or shoot any. Getting the nerve to fire it is difficult due to the warnings on the bolt not locking due to improper installation or failure. Dreams can elevate an object far above what reality would dictate.

I have two custom Arisaka Type 38 carbines in 6.5x50mm, and almost bought a third recently.

Another vote for the .350 rem mag.

I think the 303 British would be my favorite obsolete cartridge.

Based on the OP's definition, I'll go with .35 Remington and .357 max.

401 Herters Powermag, 256 Mannlicher (6.5x53R), and the 25 Remington.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

The 275 H&H magnum, Winchester -Western loaded the ammo and I believe Jack O'Conner had a rifle built in the cartridge.
