Part IV: Most unique, odd or rare cartridge you have taken game with.

How about a .264/303? Long story, but I wound up with an 'extra' No.4MkI. I had always wanted something in .264 caliber so, since I had access to a machine shop at the time, I picked up a .264 barrel and made the reamer to create a .303 British necked down to .264. Killed one deer with it years ago, and it has probably been in the safe since.

I own a 6.5-06 Ackley that I have taken several deer with

6.5 Carcano. Not really game but a rabid dog.

The deer expired, but it did run off for a ways, probably 2-300 yards before it fell over found the rocket in the far shoulder. Placement wasn't great and the rockets were never designed to expand. Outside of the primer being dented it still looks pristine.

Have not gotten a load worked up yet, but I want to try 12.7x60 RD (last made around WWI and only in Europe) one of these days.

Taken a 40/82 in the field for whitetail but did not get a shot

A 577/450 would be fun, but not as rare.

Coyote with a 218 Bee

When I was in college I used to hunt coyotes and sold their pelts for beer money. The only rifle I had was my 7.7 Arisaki. Which just happened to shoot extremely well. Shot a few deer with it too.

I got it when I was still in high school and it’s the round my neighbor taught me to reload and cast for as basically a kid. Still have the old Lee whack a mole reloading dies in my shed.
