Which Calibre Should Be Consigned to the Grave

[Saul]

I feel that the 9.3x66 Sako really could have been something great if loaded properly from the start, and it would have been an incredible case to wildcat if brass were readily available. Alas, it seems to have been outclassed on all fronts.

The one benefit of the 6.5 CM is that its made the 243 obsolete and unnecessary.

That would be the 6mm CM, but I still have a 243!

What the heck is that on the left?

 

[Grumpy gumpy]

I’m assuming the taller is a 243, so a 243 WSSM
A real fun one is a 223 and a 223 WSSM

The one on the right is a barrel maker's dream cartridge.

So is this one

25-06 on left, 25 Stalker on the right. Necked down and improved 300 norma. 135 Berger at 3800fps+, 101 LRX at 4100+

I can’t help but admit I want one. No need, I just like wacky things like that, especially in 25 cal. I also wanted a 25wssm when they came out but didn’t because of some of their weird design decisions for it (super thick neck, to little case taper for that short of a case, double stack feeding rather than single stack causing feeding issues, short head height, etc)

The 600 overkill already exists. Just in case you want to push a 900gr .62" bullet at 2300fps.

I almost bought one years ago. My thought was to load it at normal 600 NE levels.
