If you're looking for the most unusual chambering at camp, I just noticed, the Vanguard is offered in 240WBY. I'll bet there are not very many of those show up.

I consider this a very interesting chambering. Case volume is comparable to 30-06. Brass is totally unique. With the bullets available today, you should be able to take take any deer I've ever seen taken in south MS, at beanfield ranges.

This could be more affordable than custom work. Doh, now I want want one of these.

The 240 WBY is today an excellent cartridge. It was born pre-mature. Its velocity exceeded bullet technology of that time. Wby should push to revitalize it.
