Cartridges you just hate

[CoElkHunter]

Dislikes: 6.5x49, .264 Hornady, 787x82, 20mm Mauser and 787x102. The latter three because they’re too heavy for mountain hunting and have heavy recoil without a very large and LOUD brake which I don’t care for, especially in a DR. AND, it’s very difficult to get the CRF bolt extractor to “snap” over the case rim on those. But to each their own.
Likes: .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM.

Opposite for me, I dislike the 275 Rigby because it’s just a rebadged 7x57

Fair enough, then call it a 7mm Mauser, but calling it a 7x57 is like going to a hardware store

6.5 Manbun (aka 6.5 creedmore or less) the biggest scam to sell rifles and ammo I have ever seen!

Yeah, unfortunately I remember during the height of the recent ammo/component shortage, you could buy any ammo you wanted as long as it was 6.5 Creedmoor because there was nothing else on the shelves. You could also buy any rifle you wanted as long as it was chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor because that’s 90 percent of what stores had in stock. Hornady and their partnered rifle manufacturers played all of us when OUR chips were down and that’s why I’ll NEVER buy one. Sometimes we have to stand for something or we’ll fall for anything.

No hate... More dislike.

.243 - 90% of the rifles I've struggled to get good loads for were 243's.
Some shoot lights out, others should be used for firewood.

6.5CM - Over hyped for what it is, and certainly for what it's capabilities as a hunting cartridge are.

308 - Won't do anything that the 133 year old 7x57 can't do, and the old 30-06 has more horsepower and versatility across all bullet weights.
Hell... even a properly hand loaded .303 Brit can meet or slightly exceed .308 performance!

300WM - Not a fan of the sharp recoil impulse and short case neck. You can't argue with the performance though. Especially with well constructed bullets.

.30-378 Wby - Why?
