I don't like people who can't discern the difference between calibers & cartridges. I was waiting for that one....didnt take long. Well duh.... Besides, he can't get partitions to shoot well. I think he has problems...  We might want to take it easy on the poor guy... 
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

Despite all the love they get from just about everyone I never cared for a 243 or a 270.

i dont care for anything north of a .308 in terms of recoil. spent a lot of quality time w a .300 win mag and decided there was no point for any of my purposes, hunting or target-shooting wise. cartridges arent rocket science, theyre simple physics. past a certain point of noise and recoil, i do not care.

Don't like .223,.243,.270,7mm MAG and.300WM to name a few. I can agree on most of those, but .223 & .243? That's not right...

I have a 280 and its all around goodness has kept me from buying a lot of rifles in cartridges i am otherwise interested in (308, 30-06, 270). I bin cartridges in groups: under 24 caliber, 24 to 25 caliber, 26 to 28 caliber, 30 caliber, over 30 to under 375, and 375 H&H and up. I will never hunt Africa so no need for the 375H&H and up; a fast 30 with a 220 grainer will do anything the over 30 to under 375 crowd can do; ( ergo everyone needs a fast 30), the 280 fills my 26 to 28 caliber bin, my 6mm Rem fills the 24 to 25 caliber bin, and my under 24 is 5.56 NATO.

"People who post about going beyond published data. Want to go faster? You should've bought the right gun to begin with."
What about cartridges where the factories deliberately under load them? You know like the 7x57, 280 Rem. and .35 Whelen? Why not load them to their full safe potential? Even load manuals keep data at or below SAAMI mandated pressures. I know the reasons for the 7x57 but the .280 and Whelen? Just because Big R put then in semi-autos? I can agree with you if considering more modern cartridges in modern rifles. Guess the .280 wasn't one of those, right?
Paul B. Partly tongue in cheek. Guys will do what they will do. I'm guilty with my 9.3 and 257 Roberts. I don't like when someone posts seeking affirmation for what they do or to start a debate over whether or not the "manufacturers" are conspiring against us.

In Naval guns terminology caliber is the bore diameter times the bore length. So is caliber bore diameter or groove diameter or really the relative length of the tube? Is caliber the measure of the internal diameter of a tube or the estimable quality of a person or thing?
Did you load you magazine with your clip or load your clip and leave your magazine empty? Were those high caliber bullets you loaded in your clip?

I don't have a particular dislike for any cartridge, I just have no use for a few. I've got no use for the 7mm or the 270. I just have noticed that I'm not the only one. All have a certain amount of interest, some have less interest than others. I have observed that neither caliber draws too much interest, or following relative to the popular ones. I don't particularly need a lot of cartridges. 223, 243, 30, 338, and 375 and I'm good. Throw in a 45-70 for when I am 4 wheeling in Alaska and I'm good. I also tend to like heavy for caliber cartridges.

Just can't warm up to 270 , the bastard round. Love most 7mm's and a few others. 30/06 has put tons of deer meat in the freezer for me.

I have never liked nor do I ever intend to own a Win.270...not even a pre-'64 featherweight. All the rest of them are OK. powdr

I dislike threads like this one. We are all different and have different personalities. Everyone doesn't like RED or BLUE or PURPLE. Everyone doesn't like Ford or Chevy - the only real trucks.  I knew I wasn't going to post any 'calibers' but now I wish I had not read the thread.  Jerry

Calibers and cartridges are like snowflakes, each is unique and special.

300WM.....great cartridge but that's my limit for recoil. Much prefer to shoot the '06 family on down!!
