Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What cartridge do you refuse to own?

Anything with the letters "RUM" after it. jorge

Won't have any 8mm's .17, nor a .204. I don't see the need for any RUM's either. I do want a 375 H & H one day but my 338.06 project will be the biggest I have for now.

BTW, 7mm's rock!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This has to be the most pointless topic I've seen yet.

And somehow, I felt the urge to post. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Grouse,

I think the boys of 24hr have an almost fatal case of GCTHSS (Getting Close To Hunting Season Syndrom).

Symptoms are : excessive sweating while posting on 24hr, fever, rash on the buttocks (from sitting in front of the computer too long), compulsive need for a new rifle with a pink swirly Micky stock, constant re-occuring thoughts of short action SUCKS rifles. There are others, but you get the jist.........

The outbreak will probably get worse over the coming months.

Highly contagious, even can be caught over the internet. I expect the Surgeon General to caution against excesive posting on hunting chatrooms such as 24hr and the Demo's to tax the crap out of such activity, so that the outbreak can be "contained". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

PS : BTW, I am a carrier of said affliction.

hicountry, well put <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Lord please make these remaining weeks before hunting season blow by quickly.

I can't really say I dislike any cartridge, with the possible exception of the .25 ACP, even though I've never owned or fired one. Unless one is given to me, I most certainly never will, as I see no real use for it.

Yes, I started with the "stodgy" old .30-06, and I will end with it. I can afford to buy other calibers, but the stodgy, boring, pedestrian, old '06 has served me too well to shack up with another cartridge. I really couldn't care less that it's 98 years old. It will be around until this country is thoroughly feminized and all guns are given up by generations yet to be born and totally sissified.

Being the understanding soul that I am, however, I can see how the .30-06 isn't everybody's favorite. There are a heck of a lot of good rounds out there, probably more than ever before, and I would never deign to tell someone that their favorite cartridge doesn't measure up to my favorite (although I might think it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />). What really matters, and I know this is cliche, is what they can do with it.

P.S. If I had it to do over again, I probably would have chosen a 7-08, a .223, and a .300WM as my all-around guns, but since I have the '06, it can cover most of the territory those calibers do.

P.P.S. If my signature line offends you, that's okay. Being offended never really hurt anyone in this country, even tree-hugging, anything-goes-unless-you-oppose-me, left-of-Stalin-and-Mao liberals. Oh sure, they throw hissy fits and claim injury, but the only real hurt they receive is through their nutty lifestyles.

Ditto!

.270 Win. Too many wearin' two sizes too small wrangler jeans with their chew can in the back pocket road hunting in the chevy trucks with the coors light bumper stickers, that couldnt shoot a 12 inch group at 100 yards to save their life morons around here for me to ever own one.

Oh, and .22 mag

anything in 6.5mm caliber

Talk about unamerican? I hate the damn .270. Bought one once 'cause it was cheap but never used it. Only choice was convert it or drown it, so its now a 338/06

270 win, just can't see why it's around...but it is....

Any cartridge invented since 1920. Every cartridge needed to hunt the world's game had already been created by then, and most are still around.

Anything with Weatherby stamped on the case head!

Always was dead-set aginst owning an -o6. Then about age 45 ....I got bored and bought one, just to see what all the fuss was about.
It's a do everything type of rifle. I've got loads that will put 3-125 gr., 3-150 gr., and 3-165 gr. into 1.75 for all 9 shots from the same scope setting.
After fiddling with the old 06, i got bored again, and picked up a Rem. LTR in 308. This rifle will put 5-168 gr. Sierras into 5/8"
Sometimes these boring old calibers can be fun to tinker with.
"bout the only caliber I've never wanted anything to do with is the 8MM.......Heck, I might get bored enough someday to try one of these!! Virgil B.

The 270Win.

Maybe because "The King Of The Dinks" toted one and bragged about it?......................(grin)

30-06 gets that vote for me. I just can't stand it.

Brian

7.62x39 in any format from any vendor. 8mm Lebel it looks goofy and it is French.

A .308
I had said I would never own a 270 until I read Mule Deer's article on the 26" E R Shaw barreled Rem 700. Now, it is on the list.

25 auto - what's the point - too weak for self defense - too expensive for plinking - not really all that accurate.

It's good points are hmmm let me think - hmmm still thinking - hmmm I'll get back to you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

22 mag a waste of time and money when you can have a 22 hornet.
