Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What cartridge do you hate/despise and why?

Brian it is respected by me.....I know what it can do and any critter in NA would be in trouble.
But like you said, it just gets it done with no bling and I kinda like flashy things.

I hate shotgun shells (all gauges) most of all...they're worse than crack!

Hate no caliber BUT am very unhappy with a M70 223 WSSM I purchased 2 yrs ago; have yet to get a good group with it. Its been bedded, trigger reworked and now having the crown redone..even my ruger 77 338WM shoots groups 1/3 of the size of that wssm

Hate is a pretty strong word.

I don't "like" the .243 Winchester for a couple of reasons. For years it was a little lite for really big deer (think Maine). That's no longer true with today's super bullets. More importantly, it basically killed off the .257 Roberts, which is a demonstrably better cartridge.

I dunno about hate, well yea I hate te 9mm, it has got to be the most useless so called "man-stopper" round ever made, and the 40s&W is a close second, maybe even more so, what wrong with a good old 45, im pretty sure they're track recond says enough, or the fact that something that old still out preforms most of these new plastic pieces(notice i said most) or even the 10mm for that mater, that is a great little round. as far as rifles go 7mm mags and 7mm-08 are alright, but i dont hunt alot of varmints so i really have no use for them, every one who has one thinks there huge, get a real gun. a 30-30 is on the list to, but you have to atleast give it the respect of an elder. how bout 6mm's i have a few barrels i got cheap but havent put them on anything, because i cant think of a caliber worth having, maybe a 6mm ppc, if i could feed it through an AR...hmmm...
