Well, boredom has set in. Wind is keepin the turkeys quiet. So, I was talking to a guy the other day and the subject turned to cartridges we didnt like for what ever reason. I know we can't be the only 2 guys in existance.
I'll start it and more than likely be shot here, but here goes. I can't stand the 270 Win. I've had half a dozen or so over the years and killed some game. Just seemed like they run a little farther, bullets didn't open, blah, blah, blah. Couldn't give me another one.
Go ahead.

7 Mag. I don't know why but it just never did anything for me. I've had a .280 Mtn rifle and 3 7-08's so it's not a 7mm thing either.

.308 Win, .243 and 30-06. All perfectly fine rounds, but none hold any interest for me.
I'm 49 years old, pay my taxes and don't have to own any round that don't interest me.
By the way, thread title says Calibers you won't own, which denotes bullet diameter, and the text you posted reflects on a cartridge. I answered in kind.

I don't think there are any I wouldn't own.
The 7mag has never impressed me much, on paper of course, as I have not had one. I like .284 chamberings in general, I have a raft of them between rifles and "hand rifles". I could even want the bastid stepchild of the WSM family. Anything with larger capacity seems kind of wasteful, no offense to the STW/Dakota/RUM fans.

30-06 just don't like it. Love my 270 but ain't impressed with the ole 06.
Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

25 and 27 calibers.
The 270 Win is a cartridge not a caliber.

I like some .30 calibers, but not the 30-06 cartridge....no reason other than I just don't like it.
