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
 
303 Savage and I’d bring back the original Savage rotary magazine Model 99 Take Down to go with it!
Those old 190gr 303 rounds made an impact back in the day and the Savage 99 is a true work of art!!!

I’ve got one of these in the safe that I’ve been considering selling
 
I guess those of us who have come to love the .450/400 are all partly responsible for bringing it back. It is one of those calibers that when you get to know it you wonder why it is not even more popular.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
