Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Calibers that should die

I always wondered why a caliber was invented in the first place. We have so many that are not different enough to matter. We had a 300 Weatherby . The bullets were expensive so the 300 Win. mag. made sense . But then a 300 Win. Short Mag and a 300 Rem. ultra mag. didn't seem to make much sense. I only buy calibers that I can find easily so the 300 Rem. Ultra Mag. is out. I have a .270 Win. , a 243 Win. and a .223 Rem. and a 22 lr. All easy to find. What I dont like is people that despise my calibers cause they think there's is better. If I had to do it all over , I think a dumb old , stupid , old mans, boring .308 Win would be fine, but then make a .35/08 Win. , a 270/08, 250/08 Win, and 24/08 WIn. Do the same with the 30-06. That would make sense cause you have the .473 case, not that I care.
