This makes me want to go out and try my hand at deer and hog hunting with an old 94 that I have in 44-40. I think it might be just the ticket at 50 yds.
Good shooting!
Marcus.

All of mine are American. The only questionable one (and also the newest caliber) is the .308, you know, that 7.62 NATO thing. Nope , I wouldn't call that metric if the barrel is stamped .308 . At least that's how I justified the .308s here as non-metric. The barrel stamp.

My father has a pair of remington pumps (14 or 141 - has the curly magazine tube) that are in 25 rem and 30 rem. We have a few shells for them and I may take them hunting again.
Want to find a 35 rem in the same rifle to complete the collection. Is there a 32 rem also?

Along these lines , sort of . Not a single X mm caliber in the safe.

I regularly hunt with 6.5x55, 7x57, and 45-70.
I load ammo for a buddy's 8mm Lebel. Now there's one you don't hear about very often. I believe it was the first military round loaded with smokeless powder, and possibly the first smokeless round of all time.
- Back in the early nineties I was up in the James Bay frontier and was doing some meat hunting with a band where I was working. I was given an 8mm Lebel to use and it is a unique piece of workmanship. I went three for three one shot kills the first evening. The next day six for six, so I am pretty impressed with it as an up close round. That was with fmj ball so shot placement was essential and the lebel did its job. Randy

Yes, there is a .32 Rem as well in the old Rem pump guns. Am I the only one here that hunts with a 30-40 Krag? I figured that would have been mentioned by now.

A Bob, Swede, or 7x57 is "obsolete" in the hunting field like an hourglass figure is "obsolete" on a woman.
I prefer timeless ...
GE Exactly. I've been seeing a few Short Mags and Ultra Mags in the bars and walking around lately. Every once in a while, a classic beauty comes walking along.

While I hunt with a few "bread & butter" cartridges (.243, .25-06, .260, 7mm/08, .240 & .270 Weatherbys, 7.62x39 (CZ), .35 Rem, .44 Mag), most everything else I hunt with is either retro or semi-obsolete. My buddies love to razz me and say stuff like "He won't own anything that you can buy ammo for at Wal-Mart." I'm just bored to death with "common" cartridges.

Naw Seafire has been known to use that one also... 25 grains SR 4759, 180 gr Speer RN... 1898 Krag Calvary Carbine (sporterized) factory barrel on it still.. Lyman Peep sites..aka 1950s...
