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

2 Kudu in 2002 with 577/450 Martini in a "Made for ZAR by Westley Richards" Francotte Martini.

Whitetail doe with a .375 Flanged NE on a sporterized MK IV Martini Henry.

Cape Buffalo, Kudu and Impala in 2000 in Zimbabwe with .375 Weatherby. Yes, .375, not .378.

When we were kids, my cousin and I were out and about with our shotguns. A doe ran into the field about 40 yds ahead of us and just stopped. He slowly ejected the 20 ga birdshot shell from his pump, took out his knife and cut the shell through the wadding, loaded it back in the gun and let the hammer down on her. It looked like a slug at the entry with nothing out the other side. When we gutted her, there was a clean hole on the one side, vitals were non existent, and the opposite ribcage was littered with bb’s.

These post have been pretty fun and seems like members enjoy this so we will keep going until i run out of ideas. This one will be about those unique, odd or rare calibers taking game. Currently I am running a 264 Win Mag this year which is decently rare but not rare enough to not have factory options and its not as popular as all the other 6.5's. Now I have a 348 Win in a Model 71 so that will be my unique entry as its the only 34 cal I know of. What do you guys have/used?

7mm harvey magnum

My red rider BB gun as a kid that shot high and right about a foot at 15 yards....probably killed more birds than I have as an adult.
