.270 Winchester.

I was thinking of common cartridges I haven't fired. .270 Win just jumps out at me, somehow I've never busted that cap... though I have shot a .270 WSM.

I have also never fired a .243. The .243 interests me a bunch more than .270.

Any common cartridge that you, dear reader, have not fired?

30-06. Own one in a Winchester. Just not shot it.

Ummm common?

375 H&H
380 ACP
280
264
204

257 roberts

Not positive but dont think I've shot a 308. Uncle has one and I have loaded many rounds for it. I may have but sure don't rember?

Only mags has been 270wsm 7rem 300win and wsm

Never fired a 270win either.

also never fired a 22 magnum or any centerfire in a pump action rifle .

I've fired other folks .270's with a clothes pin on my nose.

Still made me ill.

Its best left to the Jack O'Connor worshipers and Bubba Gumps who enjoy mud racing.

7mm Rem Mag is probably the most common rifle cartridge I have not fired.

I've never fired a 7mm, yuropean anything. Why? No need to since my .270 Win. does virtually everything I ask of it. All 7mm's. are just just redundant.
Bear in Fairbanks

Hmm... haven't shot any of the 300 mags, any of the 17's, shot a lot of 22 but not sure I've ever short a 22 short.

.280, .264, .300SM, and the Weatherbys are about all the semi-common ones I can think of. Owned or shot almost all the deer & elk-sized American calibers.

Hmmmm....

.204 Ruger
.222 Rem
.257 Bob, but I have fired .257AI
.264 Win Mag
No WSM's or RSAUM's of any caliber
No RUM's of any caliber
No 8mm's of any flavor
.338 Win Mag
.35 Whelen
No 9.3's of any flavor
Nothing above .458 Lott, except for 50 BMG
Nothing in a handgun more powerful than .44 Mag or hot loaded .45 Colt.

No 416 Weatherby,358 Norma,338/06,257 Weatherby,204,.17Rem,404 Jeffreys or 9.3x62....Oh, and 6.5x55 or 260...I'm sure there are others.







The 270's are for the adults who have played with everything else and regurgitated the Kool Aid....no kids allowed

Does anybody have the 2011 RCBS top selling dies list? I'd like to know what the currently most poplar round is that I've not fired.

Just curious...

I would think the Redding Series A would be a similar list, as Redding says "The Reloading die sets listed in this category represent the most popular dies that we produce." :

204 Ruger
221 Remington Fireball
22 Hornet
220 Swift
222 Remington
22-250 Remington
223 Remington
243 WSSM
243 Winchester
6MM Remington
25 WSSM
25-06 Remington
257 Roberts
260 Remington
6.5 x 55 Swedish
270 Winchester
270 WSM
7MM-08 Remington
7MM Remington Mag
7MM x 57 Mauser
280 Remington (7MM Exp. Rem.)
30-30 Winchester

300 Winchester Mag
300 Weatherby Mag
308 Winchester/307 Winchester
8MM x 57 Mauser
338 Winchester Mag
375 H & H Magnum

Most of my buddies shoot these but I just haven't had the chance to fire 'em:
7mm Rem mag
.243
.270

7MM-08 Remington - wish I had started with that caliber

stumpy

I've owned and fired a .270, but I'm pretty sure that I've never fired a 30-06 or a 7mm Rem. Mag.

HAVE fired is a shorter list unfortunately.

.204
.22 Hornet
.223
.22-250
.243
.25-06
6.5x55
.270
.270 WSM
7mm-08
.30-30
.308
.30-06
8X57
.45-70

How common is "common"?

Too many to list depending. Not even sure what the list contains as I've shot quite a few rifles belonging to other people over the years.

Don't own a .243 or .270 Win, though and suspect they are on the list.

7mm-08 is likely on the list.

Anything in x55, x57 or H&H is probably on the list, too.

Anything in TC, PPC, WSM, WSSM, SAUM, Dakota, WBY, RUM or Lapua is very likely.

Anything ending in "Savage" or "-3000" is a given.

Never shot a "Hornet" or "Bee" or "Fireball".

Never shot anything between .375" and .44" that I can recall.

And many others...

Done you rat bastid! Leave it to me. Chicks digs us mud bogger types.

You smell of garlic and collards, hence the clothes pin, Jack hater.

P.S. Your Jack O' Conner Museum Pass is revoked and ALL Pronghorn thingamabobs are in the dumpster.

He was like a father to me. (Not true)
Pronghorns used to be my favorite. (don't have one)

I bought a 270 once, really disliked it.
The only reason I didn't get rid of it was because I couldn't find a lake deep enough to be sure it would never be found.
However after putting on a Micky stock, Shilen trigger, having the action trued, and giving it a nice 22 inch Shilen #4 Stainless barrel I like it much better now.
Oh Yeah, it's now a 338-06.

I've never fired a .270....which is why I am such an ex-spurt on how much they suck...

Funny, there's some chamberings that I really want that I've never fired...

I'll let somebody else figure out what is common. I fear I'm way too far gone to decide.

You and Holy Moses will smoke turds now.
Gun snobs. Seven by Fifty Seven or Sucks?
You guys would wander around for 40 years in a desert in robes and with William Devane's gold, lost.
Suck?
That hurts, you were raised better than that.

Havent you noticed on the 'fire here that opinions are inversely proportional to the amount of actual experience with the topic the poster has???

I'm from Idaho, so I put that statement into google translate. It said, there are lots of big words here...........move to Montana.

P.S. Yes. I just like to throw a rant once every few posts.

I'm sorry about the 'big words'...I forgot you were Deflaves buddy....

Apology accepted, your leopardness.

So, you used to shoot a .270, then got saved? or what?
7x57 always? Till you went 223AI?
Inquiring minds.

Settled on the 7x57 after trying everything else, always maintained if somebody made super premium bullets for .22 centerfires that Id probably use nothing else...it seems that statement has come home to roost...havent even fired the 7x57 in five years...
last time to Africa all I took was a .22-250 and 53 gr TSXs...wasn't planning on much shooting, just some varmints and a little culling...shot a warthog with it....hes the one laying down, Im the one sitting up...just in case you were confused....




he's dead...I only smell that way.....

7.62x39

Good stuff, thanks.
I'm almost with you cept I can't keep my 243ai out of my hands unless gophs are on tap.
If I would have drawn moose this year I would be choking up the bat, but it wasn't my time.
I still shoot my bigger ones but it's usually at metal.

Thanks for the laughs.
Some funny schit there.

Most of my non fired are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Man, that is one ugly critter... wait, the warthog's the one laying down? Oops...

Let's see there are a lot of them when I think about it:

any of the 300 mags
338 mag
375 mag
458 & 416 mags
220 swift
204
17 caliber anything

Nothing 204, nothing .17 (GFY in advance, flave), never a 7mmRM or WSM. Never fired an '06. No 7/08, and nothing .338 or over 375!

That's blasphemy....but atleast you have one so that makes it a little better.....

I have a .270 therfore have never needed a 7x57, a .243 or a 7mm-08. Haven't shot any of them or any .22 Centerfires, 'cause I already know they suck.

I have fired:

.270 WCF
30-06
30-30 Win
.308 Win
.22 LR
.22 Mag
.17 HMR
8x57(quite possibly the greatest round ever developed)
7mm Rem Mag
7mm WSM
8mm Gibbs
6.5mm Gibbs
30-40 Krag
.303 British
25-06

Think I might have left one or two off, not sure.

I have a Shaw Mk VII ordered in .300 Win Mag and a Winchester M70 Featherweight reserved in .257 Bob so I'll add them to the list soon enough.

It's a good thing, too. As soon as you do, I'm afraid that some poor fisherman is going to pull a rusty old .270 Short dog from the bottom of the lake. I say "poor" fisherman, cuz then he'll have to deal with the .277 curse...

Fixed....

You couple of wankers!

Never shot...

257 Bob, Roy
6.5 Swed, RM
270 Roy
7 SAUM, STW, Roy, Waters
300 RUM, Wby, Norma (have shot 30-378 though)
None of the Lazzeroni's...
303 Brit, 325 WSM, 8mm RM, 338 WM (have shot the 338 Federal)
35 Whelen, 358 Norma ( have shot the 358 Win and 350 RM though)
Nothing larger than that other than a 50 BMG in the military.

Want a custom 358 Win and a 35 Whelen and a 375 H&H.

The quest continues...

Never fired any of the short mags or any of the weatherby's minus the 300

The curse of taking it in the shorts.....stepping out of the closet curse.....don't drop the soap curse.....that poor fisherman wouldn't be taking his skin boat to tuna town anymore.....

Never fired anything smaller than .22, no belted magnums except 7mm Rem Mag, .338 win and .375H&H, come to think of it, no other "magnums" either! My bias is showing.
The did not fire list is pretty long! so instead,

My current lineup is .22 RF, .22 RF smoothbore shot, .22 RF mag, .22 hornet, .222rem, .243 Win, .25-06Rem, 7x57, 7x57R, 7x64 Brenneke, .308, 30-06, .303 Brit, 8x57JR, 8x57JS, .357 mag, .35 Whelen, .375H&H, 45-70.

Used and hunted with in the past but gone now are the .250 Savage, .257 Roberts, 7mm08, .270win, 30-30, 8x57JRS, .356 Win, .357Rem max,

A couple of interesting omissions: I have never fired two of the most common cartridges in the world - .223 ( 5.56MM Nato) or 7.62x39.

I'm starting to think you and JeffO are the SAME person ....

(if not, maybe you're his daddy ... from your truck driving days??

I did shoot 2 270 and I am sorry !!

Word. Or their team climb at Yosemite pics.

.257 Bob or .25-06 or any .25

This will earn you a place next to the humidor of turds in hell....

Biggest rifle I ever shot was a Remington 338 MAG. But most vicious recoil: Mossberg 500 shooting 12 gauge sabot slugs.

Sherwood

Next to?

Oh well, I'm getting closer.

The most humid humidor...I want the turds you smoke to be really moist...

Maybe if you had ever fired a 270 Winchezter we wouldn't see so many pictures of dinks...

And you can pull up a seat at the humidor in hell....



young bastids.....

BTW..I just got drawn for a dink tag..I'm pretty excited!

This is a family thread, please do not trash it up with talk about your body parts.
Thank you.

243 and 25 WSSM are the only ones in that group I haven't fired. Not much I haven't touched off, sans some exotica and big bores.

Up until just a few years ago, I could say I've never fired a 270, but I recently discovered this one and have to admit I'm kind of liking it The 30-30 is the first to come to mind of what I consider a "common cartridge" that I haven't fired. The red ones in the list are ones I haven't fired:

It is easer to say what I have

22RF

223 Rem

308 Win

30-06 Spring

338WM

338 lapua

45-70

450M

45 Colt

50 BMG

That is all for rifles

Snake

I haven't fired the following from the Redding list;

.204 Ruger
221 Remington Fireball
22 Hornet
220 Swift
243 WSSM
25 WSSM
257 Roberts
260 Remington
6.5 x 55 Swedish
270 WSM
7MM-08 Remington
280 Remington (7MM Exp. Rem.)
300 Remington Ultra Mag
or any .17's, RSUM's,

I have fired lots of cartridges not listed.

Pretty clear that I need a .257R, .260, 6.5x55 or 7mm-08 in my future.

Yeah!! .... next to the humidor with YOU!

:P

.300 H&H
.444 Marlin
.257 Weatherby

Not sure how "common" many on the list are in the non-rifle looney, non-reloading world. I've never seen a WSSM of any flavor nevermind shot one.

I think the most "common" on the list that I haven't shot would be the 280 and 338 Win Mag.
