how about oldest/still in production?

I know the .375H&H is over 100 years I believe...... 1912

.30-30 is very old too 1895

.30-06.....I think is coming up on 100yrs or just had it..... 1906
There are severalcenterfire rounds still in production that are much older! The .44/40, .45 Colt and .45/70 date from 1873, and specialy ammo makers are still making .577 Snider (1866), .577/.450 Martini-Henry, and in rimfire, .22 BB Cap, 22 CB Cap, and .22 Short are still being made. Some of these rimfires date from the early 1850's at least.

8X50Rmm Lebel, 1886
8X57mm Mauser, 1888
