Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

It's much like a near death experience…….makes you enjoy life more! Pain is merely masking itself as pleasure! memtb

Yeah, you may be right. My old partner used to call it the DOD factor. The "degree of deadness" is important as well.

Each young man or woman are brought up around family or freinds that had certian caliber rifles think about a young boy in the 1800"s wanting to be able to own a sharps that few could afford so they bought what they could and then passed down there beleif and rifles to the next generation and so on. Each new family would take pride in the rifles they receive and in each new generation new rifles and caliubers were made for new generations to choose from and so on. Every hunter make a choice and then takes pride in it. I didnt like 6.5 creedmoor for years but the right price on one was low enought so I bought a ruger american preditor 6.5 creedmoor sighted in at 100 yards and it shot multibal 3 group shots you could cover with a dime. as a ethical hunter I always pick what im hunting and choose a caliber to go with that hunt and the distantce for a clean kill. I will not Judge any man choice of rifle or the fact he take extreame pride in it . whhen he or she brags about it I just smile as they should when I do.

Well said

22 Creedmoor
While it's the new speed demon cartridge and designed to run heavy for caliber projectiles, I feel it's a bit over rated. Barrel life is terrible, factory loading's are only available from Horizon, it's only about 100-150fps faster than a 22 GT or 22-250.

Hornady makes ammo for it now with the ELDX and ELDM projectile. Barrel life is definitely it good though.

.444 Marlin. Beautiful rifle, functioned flawlessly but zeroing it in crippled me. Loved what it did to a bear, but not to me. Super easy to load for at the time, just one or two bullet choices, one brass choice and really one powder choice. So all the thinking was already done for you. Traded it for a .243win and I am still happy about that 35 years later.

.308 Win. A solution that solves nothing.

.308 Win. A solution that solves nothing.

Now just hold on there …. 308 Win solved that 300 Savage problem everyone was having…which was how to turn a lever action cartridge into a full auto machine gun round…BOOM…done.

I have very unique feelings torward the 308. On one hand it's probably the caliber I'd recommend to most people getting their first rifle due to ammo selection, but on the other hand the SAAMI specs hold it back from its full potential. With a custom chamber setup on a long action for 200 grain bullets, it's one of my favorites though.
