7mm mag, just because everyone's mad about them in alberta. not too keen on the 600 nitro express either. or anything finn aagaard liked, but only because he has too many vowels in his name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> come to think of it he's kind of one of my people so i take that back. 30/30 rocks!

You'll never find a .223, .270 Win. or .30/06 in my safe. Obviously, good cartridges all but E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y and their 9 cousins has one or more. I'd be bored to tears if forced to hunt with any of them. While I'm at it, you'll never catch me in the woods with a .308 WCF, .300 Win. Mag or 7mm Rem. Mag for that matter, for the same reasons but to a slightly lesser degree. I almost threw the .30/30 into that equation but if I found a pristine Savage 99 or Winchester 54 in "thutty-thutty" for a song I'd probably go home with it. The cartridge may be as common as dirt but you don't see it in those rifles every day of the week.

Any of the WSSM, just goofy.

Geez,
I own a few of the hated rifle cartridge listed so far. Let's see 223, 243(AI version), 30-30, 30/06 & 7RM. Own some others not listed so far 7-08, 7-08AI, 300WM, 338WM and a 350RM.
I really don't hate any cartridges as anything that flings a projectile interests me, but some are boring like the 22Mag (I own one of them too!)

Mtn Hunter, Well said. If I had to pick one , I guess it would be the 257 Roberts. What's the point in that round anyway??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I`ll take the rifles off anyones hands that doesn`t care for the cartridge they`re chambered in, for a token price of course <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Cartridges are like sex, their all good, somes just better that others........................and the one you ain`t got is the one thats most interesting. At least till the honeymoons over.

I don't detest any cartridge, but I personally have no real desire to own any cartridge smaller than .22 cal., nor any of the belted magnums (except possibly the .375 H&H, though I don't know why), nor anything that ends with RUM, SAUM, WSM, or WSSM. Also, I've never understood why the world needed a bullet .007 inch smaller in diameter than the 7mm. Was it just so that it wouldn't be mistaken for an elk cartridge? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Perhaps the military has finally found the niche for it in the 6.8mm. We'll see.

You .223, .243, and .270 bashers are CRAZY. For me, its the Ultra Mags.

Any .17 caliber, 7MM Rem. Mag, any Ultra Mag, any short mag. I am not a magnum owner but if I was, I'd bypass the 7 Mags and go straight to the .300 Winchester Mag. or possibly the .338 Mag. If I'm gonna take some heavy recoil, I'm gonna make it worth while.

Anything new foisted off on a gullible public by the commercial
machines and the gun mags since about 1965. They add nothing
I want or can't do as well or better with the "classic calibers".

bearstalker I will not own anything of a personal rifle that says WSM, WSSM, RSAUM, Ultra anything, or 17 caliber. If I cant do it with a 257 Roberts, 30-06, and a 375 H&H, I probably have no business doing it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> That ought to get the ball rolling.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Charlie

For some reason the 7.5mm Schmidt-Rubin* has always made me mad every time I think about it. Other than that, I love them all.
