I thought of a couple that might make the grade as suficiently Rifle Loonyish.
7x57
I'll agree on the 7x57 but only if you stamp it .275 Rigby. That would give you some extra rifle loony panache Damn, I am a loony! I also, have a 7x61S&H, and a .350 Rigby Rimless Magnum coming!

I always figure that when I get a .375 Weatherby, it will be a sure sign I've gone off the deep end.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Your own wildcat cartridge that's useful and fills a need other than your own loony lust.  Has anyone necked up the 30-06 to 9.3?

Any cartridge that makes the masses cock their heads like a dog and say "Huh?"
If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

I always figure that when I get a .375 Weatherby, it will be a sure sign I've gone off the deep end. That's funny. That cartridge pops into my head everyonce in a while but I have to bite my lip and try to think about something else until it goes away   . I must have the sickness too... 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I personally like my 25-20. It's not in a lever action (Savage bolt Model 23), but in honor of the Jordon buck....I used it to take few whitetails.

What if you own two 9.3x64 Brenneke's?
Considering a rebarrel of Winchester 1885 in 405 Win to a .338-405 Win to duplicate 338-06 ballistics in a rimmed cartridge? And you own three 338-06's.
270 Win? nah only if you own 7 with an 8th on it's way and think you are a little light and should pick up a couple more. This after having owned probably close to thirty different 270's.
But the ultimate rifle loony cartridge is the 29 BS, you own of those and you ARE loony!

.19 Calhoon The 19 Calhoon is simply a 22 Hornet necked down to a 19 caliber and fire-formed to a straight wall case with a 30 degree shoulder angle. The 27 grain slug can be pushed out of the muzzle at around 3,600 fps. ![[Linked Image]](http://stevespages.com/jpg/cd19calhoon.jpg) Should be more than enough for all but the larger species of deer. Point blank zero of 350 yards, 780 ME. Sounds like the perfect caliber. ![[Linked Image]](http://forums.wakeboarder.com/files/digging_a_hole.jpg)

For me its the pre 64 M70 that was my grandpas. It was originally a 300 H&H, but he ran a custom reamer in and it now looks like a 300 Bee with H&H body taper. Identical case capacity to a 300 Winchester actually.

I can't believe that we have overlooked the 7mm Mashburn in this discussion. Any chambering that requires you to buy a special reamer and dies and then resize .300 Win Mag brass so you can equal the performance of the 7mm Weatherby and not quite match the 7mm STW is face down in a pile of Loony!
Chet Chet...any guy who has to throat out 7RM's to get them to perk 175's is just a step behind the Mashburn folks in the Loony Bin..he just can't admit it yet. I know the symptoms   Obviously somethin' wasn't quite right with the 7RM or you would not have throated.....BTDT. And anyone who owns an Echols,and squawks about a couple of C-Notes for dies needs to revealuate.... Talk to Darcy.... You're only a small step away from needing a reamer. You seem young yet....another few years of dickin' with those 7 RM's will have you calling Dober for the reamer.The 7 Weatherby won't cut it..same as a long throat 7 RM (pressure/ pressure!).......I'll save a slot in the Bin for ya... All in fun my friend.. I mean.....can I help it if the factories never got it quite right?

How about some of the Lawson cartriges like the 17 Lawson, kind of partial to the midwest, but some may have made it out and about. I actually knew Mr. Lawson and he was really a rifle loony, would have made you all proud! T.S.

Surprised no one has mentioned the 6.5 Creedmore.
My credentials include a .30-338 (gotta have that neck at least one bore diameter long), a 9.3x74R, both a .280AI and a 7mm SAUM, a .25-36 Marlin and a 7x64 Brenneke.

I thought the 25-284 was THE campfire "loonie" cartridge.
Especially when chambered in a Rem. 600 action....(grin!)
