Whats the Most unusual/ odd/ classic Cartridge you've taken Deer+ game with?

[WhelanLad]

hey i been chasing the internet on 7mm cartridges from way back, lots of coolies around... interesting to see the 275 HH is basically the early days Rem mag......
anyway
wondered with You Canadian Folk, who have some cooler guns than Us and more different Cartridges , What was your unique Cartridge hunt ? what species and some info on it?


For Me, so farrrr , i cant really decide on the One but id say the 35 Whelen and also the 303 British has been pretty cool Cartridge to have taken Sambar deers with!
maybe throw the 375 Win in too

nothing too unique here for me at this stage, however im sure your milage may vary

I haven't done much hunting with anything weird, just the standard stuff. I have wondered about taking small game with my Suomi just for the hell of it.

I have probably taken more deer with a .300 Weatherby Magnum than any other rifle I've had. It's not a real classic but was developed and produced in 1944. It is still to this day a pretty potent 30 magnum.
I recently purchased a .30-378 Weatherby Magnum but haven't taken it on a hunt. It was developed in 1959.
My first deer rifle was a Winchester 1894 .32 Special that my dad gave me in 1973. I'm not sure how old it was but it had some mileage on it.

Don't know if this qualifies but the majority of my deer have been taken with a 50 cal muzzle loader shooting 45 cal bullets.

My first mule deer was finished off with a .303 savage.

 

[9.3mauser]

The best buck I've ever taken was with a .250 Savage. I tend to hunt with a 7x57 (aka .275 Rigby) these days. And I've still got the 9.3x62 in case I ever get a bull moose tag again.

I went on a small game hunt with mine. After the first half hour the novelty wears off and its a pain in the ass to haul around lol.

 

[Power Pill]

my go to cartridge at the moment is the 9.3x62. I dont think its unusual or odd, but it sure is a classic!

 

[MiG25]

Probably 8x56R and 9.3x57, rifles aren't hard to come by but hunting ammo is slim (9.3x57) to non-existent (8x56R).

Taken elk with 32 Special.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

Whitetail buck with Winchester 1892 in .44-40

Ditto, also done it with the same rifle, before I re-barreled it. It was a 38-40 then.

That rifle has taken Whitetail, black bear, and lots of porcupine.
