The ones I shoot that come closest to "obscure" in the Rocky Mountains are: 6.5X54 M/S 9.3X57 Mauser 9.3X74R Some men and women say "never heard of that' when I tell them the caliber of these rifles. The ones I shoot that I can't call Obscure, but are not at all "mainstream" anymore are: 222 Remington 300 Savage 303 Brit 8X57 Mauser 35 Remington 358 Winchester 404 Jeffery. These are shells that everyone has heard of but they don't see used much these days and it's a bit odd to see someone using one. I call a cartridge "mainstream" or "run of the mill" when if you tell someone what you have they don't see anything even slightly odd about the choice My "run of the mill shells" are: 223 25-06 270 Winchester 6.8SPC 30-30 308 30-06 7.62X39 9.3X62 375H&H |
