Cartridges you'd like to see more guns in?

[Val1884]

38-40 the original 10mm

 

[Bobbygun]

.218 Bee

Bring back the Raging Bee. Except this time maybe it could be a Ruger or Smith & Wesson instead of a Taurus. Man, I almost bought one of those a bunch of times but couldn't get past the "Taurus" part.

 

[Dogbone38Super]

7x57, .257 Roberts, and 6MM Remington.

 

[Wombat of Doom]

I've got a single shot 500 S&W mag rifle that is very unpleasant to shoot, I love the thing.

I got one of those and a very comfortable to shoot lever gun.

223 Ackley Improved

300 HAMR

300 HAMR

I don't know about the rest, but ooh, ooh, that 300 HAMR sounds like a winner!!

7x57, .257 Roberts, and 6MM Remington.

I have a 257 Roberts and love it. It's a great cartridge.
Sure would be nice if ammo was easier to find.

I am currently having a 257 roberts built on a 1903-a3 rifle. The nice thing about the 257 roberts is the brass can be resized from 6mm remington or 7mm mauser easily. Worse case you can make it from 30-06. If you handload the 257 roberts is fairly easy to feed.

"Rocket Ball"....sounds like the stage name of a stripper or adult film actor...

What cartridges would you like to see more guns produced in? Could be a niche cartridge, on that was once popular but faded, one that never really got its due, or something else.

Enjoy.

327 and 32 H&R Mag. they offer 6 shot capability from the smallest J frame size guns. DR

How about a lever gun in 30 Carbine?

Write a letter to Ruger. Tell 'em "man up" and build THIS Marlin.


Marlin Model 62 .30 Carbine and a healthy Coastal Coyote (no longer healthy).

Levermatic?

 

[JRuby]

What is the advantage of a 30 carbine vs a 30-30 in a lever action? Serious question.

 

[jkor]

a bolt action that's not a Mosin, in 7.62x54r that one can buy in the USA.

Well, there is a SV-98 on Gunbroker right now. Starting bid is about $19K though.

Of course, that question would have to be secondary to defining what the purpose of the gun would be. How would it be used?

Given that we might select a purpose for which both calibers are capable and appropriate (such as Coyote hunting), I can only relate from experience that the Levermatic pictured above is far lighter to carry than a scoped Marlin 30-30, faster to the shoulder, faster at the lever (short throw) and recoils significantly less.

All advantages toward Coyote hunting.

I know, I seen that ONE for a while now lol. A mosin reproduction would also be nice, a new receiver with factory method of scope mounting, like how there are aftermarket 10/22 receivers. I wonder if someone could make, a custom mosin receiver.
Damn Sanctions.

 

[Artilleryman]

.454 Casull.

 

[kirkcdl]

One good thing is 10mm is growing in subgun offerings. Not sure what else is out there but in the past seems like it was pretty limited. Mp5 clone in 10mm would be nice.

Stribog roller delayed 10mm

Also we are still missing a roller delayed in .223/5.56 for some reason. MKEnever brought theirs over despite years of rumors and I don't know why PTR aren't making them. They would sell a gazillion of them if they made them. Thank goodness .308s are available though.

One that might be neato to see more options in is the .480 Ruger. AFAIK, only Ruger, Freedom Arms, and Magnum Research (the latter two in .475 Linebaugh form) makes'em.
