My father in law has a lever action rifle chambered in 32-20 WCF. It’s a Winchester but I don’t know which model.

Just try finding 8mm Steyr for the model 1907 Roth Steyr or 7.63 Mannlicher for the Mannlicher Model 1905. Those are both super hard to find - trust me.

For every obsolete cartridge there are 10 new ones it seems.

Ruger came out with a No.1 in 405 Winchester, and I think you can still obtain Winchester's lever action in .405.

That was one of Teddy Roosevelt's favorite cartridges for Africa.

Wish they still made .348 WIN.

I thought this was gonna be about printer ink.

I expect to see even more “obsolete” cartridges as a variety of new cartridges begin to surface. For example, the .17 IMR, although relatively new to some people, will it replace the .222 Remington due to a rim fire, lower cost, “throw away” case?

Got an old Winchester Lever Action in .218 Bee with an extra barrel for .22-250. Neither of them real common.

Also have an old boot pistol in .28 rimfire.

Can still find the rifle cartridges but have never seen the .28 rimfire.

I think my dad had a Model 99 Savage in .22 Hornet.

How about the .318 Bee?

My uncle had a S&W Model 53 revolver chambered for .22 Jet Magnum, which was a .357 cartridge necked down to .22, with an 8-3/8" barrel. It was a pretty hot load, around 2700 fps IIRC. It also had .22 long rifle inserts for using less expensive ammo.
I have a S&W M1917 revolver from WWI that uses half moon clips to fire .45 ACP rounds plus the later developed .45 Auto Rim cartridges. Picked it up back in the 70's from an old boy for $40 - someone replaced the barrel and cylinder with parts from a S&W Model 1950. It shoots well for a 100 year old cobbed together handgun.

I have my Grandpa’s 32-20 Colt Revolver and ammo for it (1934).
But don’t shoot it anymore.

I see 32 Long ammo for sale on-line, but not anything labeled 32-20.

The .260 Remington is a fantastic cartridge that went obsolete almost as soon as it was introduced due to Remingon’s asinine marketing. What is not to love about an inherently accurate round with low recoil based on the .308 cartridge. I mean, ano brainer. I am stunned that the .260 did not catch on. 6.5 is THE bench rest accuracy round and now even the US military is looking at adopting the 6.5.

Oh well.

In the article he talks about the 25-20. There were two different 25-20s.
The 25-20 Winchester Center Fire (WCF) which was designed for the Model 1892 lever action rifle. The other was the 25-20 single shot used in single shot rifles. It is .300” longer then the 25-20 WCF. The 25-20 single shot is pictured in the article.

Is the 45 Glock dead yet. It seemed to be a disease in search of a cure. Not that it was a ad idea, but it was up against an entrenched all time classic. It never had a chance. Kind of like the Marlin .450. Sure it is more powerful than the .45-70, but you are never going to supplant that classic long-lived round forjust another 5 or 10 percent in power.

Since I’m not a collector, I make it a point never to buy a gun chambered in a caliber you can’t find plentiful ammunition for at Wal-Mart.
