I remember growing up spending hours looking at shooting magazines and books. Many would have a picture of all the known rifle cartridges lined up side by side from smallest to largest. I didn’t memorize them all or anything, but a few always impressed me with their names only.
The two which somehow still stick in my head are 218 Bee and 257 Roberts (I’m sure there were others too).
All of my rifles are rather mainstream. 7mm Mag, 308, 6.5 CM. Two of mine are somewhat less mainstream 7mm-08 and 25-06, but those are still easy to get ammo for and still many rifles are being made with those chamberings.
Anyone shoot a more esoteric caliber routinely?
Any good 257 Roberts or 218 Bee stories?
