What caliber would you bring back from the dead?

Wish there was more interest in some of the rimfires. I have a Savage .17M2 bolt rifle and a Remington Model 591 in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum. I've accumulated several thousand rounds of Hornady for the .17M2 and a paltry 1000 rounds of Aguila for the 5mm. Aguila had the most recent offering for 5mm in two 30 grain loadings, but not sure those loads will be re-run any time soon. I'd love to see CCI (and by manufacturing extension, Hornady) take an interest in loading it.
 
25-20 wcf. A really great small game round. Or to really resurrect something the 25 Stevens rimfire another great round on small game.
 
The little .360 2 1/4....in both guises....BPE and NE....which is the 9.3X57R .360
It used to be the .30-30 of its day and has been left out in the cold.....it's sad... .very sad....
 
Don't forget the PO Ackley wildcats. I have a Mauser custom in 30-06 AI done in the late 60s-early 70s
in 30-06 Ackley. It will increase velocity of a 180 gr bullet to 300 H&H levels, while still allowing the parent 30-06 cartridge to be fired in the chamber-effective, while also creating AI brass.
 
I'd really prefer to see the 218 Bee, 256 Win Mag, 357 Bain & Davis, 480 Ruger for small stuff. I'd like to see the 358 Norma, 8mm Rem Mag, 25-35, 375 Winchester for the bigger stuff.
 
333 rimless and 333 flanged.
Easy to shoot caliber.
250 or 300gr
Std length bolt action and light rifles.
Second that
