Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

7-08

I can't even count the guys I have ran into at the range over the years that can't shoot, know absolutely nothing. But they read on the inter web that a Tikka 7-08 was the be all, end all to every big game animal and hunting situation in North America. As long as you have a Barnes bullet stuffed in the case.

You can use it to part ragging creeks and walk across on dry land, it defies the laws of gravity. In a tight spot it can be used as a weed pipe and makes an excellent high lifter Jack handle.

But all the above does not apply unless the driver of the rifle is dressed head to toe in Sitka gear and the rifle can only be transported in a Toyota TRD. There is also a minimum amount of selfies that must be taken per range session.
Shall we call it the one hit wonder?

Hate all the WSM and WSSM cartridges. 'Almost" as powerful as their full-size counterparts, but in a short action....big whoop. The only one I'd consider is the 270 WSM, which is in another league than the 270 Winchester, ballistics-wise.
 
For no reason .308 and 30-06 , I don't know why , they just irk me , LOL
Agree on the 30-06 and for no particular reason other than I have ALWAYS been a 270 guy and I had a Winchester -06 back in the day and it would kick a mud hole in you. Thats all. But I do like the .308, especially in a short barrel/truck gun configuration.

I'm right there with ya on the wssm's. However I have never had a desire to own a 270 after the 1st one.
