Third from the left is a 6.5x55, and fifth one over is a .300 Savage. Another real oddball is the .348 Winchester, eighth from the left. The latter two are impossible to find anymore. Included also are the .40-70 Sharps Straight, .45-2.4, and .45-2.6. Strictly handloading, bullet casting propositions. Oh, and the .220 Swift (second from left) isn't all that easy to find either.
I've actually loaded a good number of .577 Nitro Express for an acquaintance who used to lug one off to Africa. That's where I learned that Reloder 15 is the preferred substitute for Cordite. Ross Seyfried has a conversion formula that works out very well. Yeah, 750 grain Woodleigh bullets (about five bucks each) at darn near 2,000 fps. Not a lot of fun off the bench.
