Default Whats the Cartridge you have Always dreamed of owning?

There was a thread that discussed what cartridge or rifle you would never own. This is kind of the opposite. What cartridge and or rifle would you love to own if you had unlimited money?

260 AI, 26 in barrel, on a light weight mountain rifle...someday, but I have a 243 barrel on that action that has to be burned out first

and a lot of cash to find, to get into reloading before I can make it happen.

I think I have all the cartridges I've been looking for nowadays, but something seems to pop up every once in a while.

If I had a bunch of extra funds I would build a 358STA, maybe on a Sako or Fierce action. I think that would be fun to see how much punishment I can take.

Only other ones would be a nice 16ga and if a Ruger mk2 ss 350 rem mag ever showed up somewhere, it would probably follow me home as well.

I really like the colours that show up when rifles are case hardened, so with unlimited funds that would be right at the top of the list as well.

I believe I have owned a very cartridge I ever wanted to - and a few I wasn't crazy about as well!
Possibly a 35/303 Epps , never had one that of those
On second thought I have never owned a 6.5x47 although it has always intrigued me!

Winchester Safari in 375H&H and a 50BMG. Pretty much guarantee I would be sick of them and selling them in fairly short order as there is no rational reason to own them, but I just think they'd be fun for their own different reasons.

another vote for a 264 Winchester Magnum... I always thought it was a sexy round, if rifles can be sexy.

maybe a 45-120 sharps. (might not be as practical as getting a 17 Hornet in an antique style falling block.)

I've owned several 300 rum's
I've always wanted one in a Sako custom deluxe chambered in 300rum
another would be a 404 Jeffery I'd like to just have it even if turned into a safe queen
another I've owned but like a fool sold
is a 257 Roberts had one in a Ruger m77 and had one in a Winchester feather weight
but would really love to own one in a Kimber chambered in 257 Roberts
and a 22-250 in a Ruger m77 target rifle
a bnib browning gold 10 gauge
and one of those new fancy sweet 16's
then I would be real happy until I think of another one I think I should own

7x57 and 6.5x54, 2 gems that I haven't tried. Want a 7x57 real bad and just figure I should own a 6.5x54 at some point.
