6. .276 Pederson, the Self Loading Rifle

During a time where the United States Army was looking for a replacement for the dated 1903 Springfield, John Pederson created this revolutionary self-loading rifle. Ironically, his version of the rifle never made it to the army but it heavily influenced future rifles especially the M-1 Garand. The original Garand designs actually adopted the .276 cartridge until they were changed into the standard cartridges used by the US army today.
