6mm Remington I think some would consider it obsolete, as the .243 as completely dominated it (except in performance). I rarely see ammo on the shelf for it. The 6mm Remington is a favorite. I had a Lilja tube screwed on a T3 and when using 85 grain Hollow Point Boat tail Game Kings, it puts a smack down on virtually everything that gets nailed by it.

6mm Remington
I think some would consider it obsolete,
The 6mm Remington is a favorite. Yes. The 6mm Remington qualifies. Well... y'all are right but I've never thot about my 6mm Rem being obsolete. I have a Rem M 6 pump in 6mm Rem. It occupies the role of varmint rifle now but has killed its share of deer. Jerry

6.5 Rem Mag and 350 Rem Mag. This, with the .284 as a third. I have all three in modern, SS and fiberclass beauties. All built by Greydog and all shoot lights out at great speeds. If I had to choose only one, it'd be the .350RM with the 200gr TTSX at 2950fps....

.375 Winchester
Fortunately I don't have to rely on factory ammo as I have enough brass and bullets to last a couple lifetimes.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

the definition of obsolete something whos usefulness is gone over taken by progress. I do not believe that applies to any cartridge

I had a Lilja tube screwed on a T3 and when using 85 grain Hollow Point Boat tail Game Kings, it puts a smack down on virtually everything that gets nailed by it. I like my old 6mm so much, I guess I never thought of it as being obsolete. If that be the case, I hereby declare it my favorite obsolete cartridge. The 303 British be numba 2.

+1 for the 30 Newton. The original 30cal. Magnum. I've been trying for years to find a cartridge for my collection. Not easy to find one.

Another vote for the 8mm Rem Mag. Mine has slain a couple of deer plus three bears. And a shout out for it's little cousin (.002" smaller diameter), the 32 Winchester Special. I have a 1949 Marlin 336 with an aperture sight on it. It has a fair amount of bluing wear from honest use over many seasons before I got it but the rifling is strong and the action is as smooth as glass.
