375 Winchester because it was a beautiful rifle with a cool name; Big Bore. Invested in dies and a lifetime supply of brass. Then I decided it made little sense to shoot a 98% gun with growing collector value, let alone modify it with aperture sights or a scope so my old eyes can see to sight it. Bummer. My one and only safe queen.
45-90 because someone rechambered a black powder rifle marked ".45-70". I'll get my .45-70 Sharps someday but this is fun, if frustrating.
