For the most part, I'd say rifles speak to me more than the cartridges they are chambered for. With that being said, there are some cartridges that just don't interest me, and it would take a mighty sexy rifle to convince me to bring home another .270.
Nothing wrong with the cartridge, I just can't fall in love with it, no matter how much sense it makes. There are others, like the .284 Winchester, I have never felt the desire to own, in spite of a penchant for favoring cartridges that are "not your common choices."
