The dying caliber thread

[gunman41mag]

Thats the funny part. The .257 scoots along pretty quick its only 100-150 fps slower than the .25-06 and its got the edge in accuracy in most of the rifles I have known about.

I like the .25-06 but I still think the .257 has it beat.

I have a REMINGTON SENDERO in 300 REMINGTON ULTRA MAG. What the heck am I going to do with that round, bullets are expensive, who needs a 30 caliber 180 grain bullet going over 3,600 fps

Neck it down to .17 cal. Rebarrel the rifle and sell it to some jackoff who thinks he knows it all.

Then it'll be a barrel burner

I was joking around but I wonder how many rounds a person could shoot before the barrel was toast?

I guess I will never know. I have enough barrel burners to worry about before going full retard.

I have several guns that are pretty hard to find ammo for. I have a 6mm, 300 savage, 25acp, 22wrf, and 308 norma mag. Can't find the last two on the shelf, but maybe thats why I like them so much!

I'm a little confused at some calibers mentioned here as dying. 45acp, 35whelen, 7.62x54r...and the 30-30? Dying? You got to be kidding!

Good Luck finding 308 NORMA MAG.

 

[Hayseed_40]

Naw, I meant ACP. I think I'm going to outlaw it....its just plain ineffective.

You ever met anyone that even liked it, much less shot it? No. No, you haven't.

Just like the internet - a fad...

 

[Mosinowner]

this is like saying the .45 auto or 22lr is dying to many of us have this caliber in are toys once the surplus drys up it will be picked up again thats my though

Sorry meant non magnetic surplus like the yugo stuff

 

[Mosinowner]

Does anyone make the .950 JDJ?

Yes but if you think 50 cal is expensive check this link wc950JDJ Try 60 bucks a round. They are inert but you have to choice to get live rounds. My question why?

 

[Westside]

Hey now the cartridges with aluminum bullets are only $50 a round.

 

[Mosinowner]

Hey now the cartridges with aluminum bullets are only $50 a round.

I wonder if any range would allow this bullet? Think it would go through the backstop?

Yeah, I feel the .41 Mag pain, too. Got one I hardly ever shoot due to the scarcity of ammo and the price when I do find it. I truly love shooting it when I do, tho. It's a great calibre. So's my .44 Special, another neglected calibre.

Westside Loan at 3428 W 10th Indpls. has a BUNCH of .41 mag. ammo. I am talking cases of it. It has been there behind the counter since around 1994.

i just called Westside at (317)637-3005 & they said there is no 41 MAG. ammo at their pawn

What about 9x18 makarov? I don't know much about it but I have shot it a few times. I hardly ever see more that 2 boxes on shelves.

I'm actually seeing more of this. Gander Mtn. had two different brands of new 9x18. There's a lot of good American made defense loads and new Russian made ammo. Most big mail order places carry a lot of 9x18.

Many police forces in Eastern Europe still use 9x18. And with many of the 9x18 pistols becoming C&R eligible you'll start to see this cartridge gain in popularity.

I just sold my Bersa Thunder and bought a CZ-82. Cheaper to own, has more power and has a double stack magazine.

I rather have the CZ-82 myself

They are wrong. I just saw it last week. It has been there since I worked there in 1994. You must have got one of the new guys.

They told me they have 9MM & 44 MAG

 

[Cherryspringer]

Dying round

You know there are lots of them out there but the 41 mag is the biggest shame of all of them. Most people aren't aware of the superior ballistics. That said I just recently acquired my first 44 mag super blackhawk( which is awesome). I had to go with the 44 because of popularity and availability of ammo. I won't own any oddballs. If things get weird I want to have a couple of everything in the popular calibers. But the 41 is grossly overlooked.

I have two S & W 657 3inch barrel 41 MAG, but I'm buying a of 41 MAG ammo from Cwood
