What 100 year old cartridges do you use

[Bhoesl]

The only 2 center fire rifles I own are both cartridges that have been around over 100 years.
300 savage
30/06

 

[Cemetery Sling Blade]

303 British. 137yrs old. Geez!

 

[Zellhouse]

Finally, someone listed a .300 Savage my first rifle. Hard to find brass for these days...

 

[MS 9x56]

308 is my go to

The 308 is not a 100 year old cartridge.

Shrapnel always wins the 'coolest firearms award', here and on the 'Fire.

Hunting for me:
.22
.270
30-30
30-06

Just bought a Marlin CB 45 LC and a Ruger New Model Blackhawk 45 LC so that should qualify. Looking forward to shooting them.

250 savage for me I have a few others but have been reloading and shooting this one most recent. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Will probably start shooting and loading for my 7x57 again kinda got a hankering to carry it for bear this spring.

 

[Boarmaster]

[kiwi hunter]

Although it didnt confront the public until 1930, it was developed in the twenties
22 hornet

 

[MS 9x56]

250 savage for me I have a few others but have been reloading and shooting this one most recent. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Will probably start shooting and loading for my 7x57 again kinda got a hankering to carry it for bear this spring.

I would recommend loading up the 7x57 with 175 grain round nosed bullets for bear. You will be as they say “loaded for bear”.

Have had the past:
32 S&W - an old nickel plated H&R Third Model my dad kept in his sock drawer. Last I saw of it, my former BIL took it to shoot.
45-70 Govt. - A MIJ WRAC 1886 RMEF Life Member Commemorative. I didn't like the tang safety the lawyers put on these. I sold it unfired.
.410 Bore - A Winchester Model 41 which was on long term loan to our family when I was a kid. I would love to have another of these.
16 Gauge - We had an Iver Johnson Champion in Sweet 16 when I was a kid. The hardest kicking thing I've ever shot. Worse than my 12 Gauge Champion I still own.
This and a Remington 514 .22LR were stolen from my aunt's house in a break-in.

I'm eyeing a M70 in .270 Winchester on consignment at a local store. I've always wanted one. Walnut and blued steel.

 

[Justabirdwatcher]

.22 LR, 30-30 currently.

Have owned several 6.5x55's and 7x57's, and a few '06's. All great guns that do nothing my 7mm-08, .308 or .300 WSM can't do better.
