Agree with him on the 300 Weatherby, not the 223

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Can't agree with the analyses of the .223. The others I don't really care about one way or another.

I was born before the .223, which influences my statement it's a cartridge that didn't have to be, kind of like the .40s&w

Nobody has ever asked to shoot my 458WM a second time.
Can't imagine them wanting a 458 Lot more???

He's wrong on the .223, although the .222 is pretty close in its own right.

I'll have to disagree with them listing the .223 And I thought that the .270 Winchester was the most over-rated cartridge, EVER

For me, I'd say the top five most overrated cartridges should have "AI" after their name.

I guess folks gotta get paid for writing something...
I didn't read much past a few words though, what I read was a bunch of personal opinion BS. IMHO.

Can't imagine them wanting a 458 Lot more??? Never thought the 458 win mags had that much recoil. 378 wtby yes. 460 wtby well yes, but not as bad to us as the 378 wtby. But 458 win mag bad? No way. Stout yes, but bad not.

Well I agree with most anything that is short, fat and a Magnum.. The 223 is to me not as good as everyone makes it out to be. I agree that if the military did not adopt it would not be what it is today. It does what it needs to do, but so do many other 22 center fire rounds.

243 Winchester 25-06 7mm rem mag 300 win mag 17 HMR... That's a much closer list.... Just swap out the 300 Win Mag for the 7x57mm

The 300 Weatherby is no joke
The .270 WSM is
The Swift is a waste without a quick twist barrel
The .458 is a lot of rifle for a little recoil
The 223 is superb, not saying anyone's similar pet isn't.

Any cartridge that fills a need, no matter how small the niche, and has a following, is worthwhile. "Overrated" is subjective and a matter of opinion. However, if I were going to put such a list together, the .300 B.O. would certainly win top honors on my list.....

I have to wonder if the author has ever used any of those overrated cartridges?

Wrong on all 5 cartridges. The man wrote the article so people would click on it nothing more nothing less.

Overrated by who is the question. Do any of them not do what they are supposed to do?
