Cartridges you just hate

[ftrovato]

I’m not sure if you are serious or just messing with Bob lol But I’m sure you know the 338WinMag can push a 300gr as fast as a 375 H&H…
Bob will tell you a 35 Wheelcart can push a 500gr round as fast as 458 Lott

Bob clearly has a romantic relationship with the 35.

I feel the same way about anything that shoots a .338 bullet. They have always been my mistress.

270. LOL I don't "hate" it. I just get that it was the latest greatest thing back in the 1920s and relic Jack O was selected by Petersens to pimp it for Winchester in his prose. That was a long time ago. Since then, there have been developed FAR better sheep and long range med game cartridges (like the 270 WSM if you like 270 caliber.) Bullet selection was always horrendous, so I went with the better BC/SD hot 264s WM, WSM, Wby and they NEVER let us down on game out to 720 yds. 2 friends in deer camp have 270s and love 'em for typical 50-300 yd deer shots. It's not hate. It's, there's a better tool for the job at hand 100 years later! .338 is like the bigboy 6.5 for bigger things (its ballistics are superior and the WM is just the beginning of case size. It's not even a magnum-<3,000 fps, but I know you can push a 300 grain Barnes Original SP to 2,440 fps in a smaller 270 case (338-06 A-Sq.) Just keep it under 150 yd and you can take everything up to the largest of eland, so the WM, Wby and larger 338s are some amazing weaponry! My choices for PG: Hot 6.5 and 338 (nothing wrong w/ 7, 300-i love em all.) The tracking distance in Africa is nearly always vertical-only with 338s. Same in America for the hot 6.5s, which is fantastic when cliffs are involved!!!

600/700 NE, 950 JDJ? Those are shoulder-folders that anyone should truly HATE!

How come I knew this was going to get to the magic 700 yard sniper hunting ego shots….

Because its the same group that has "It's only hunting if I can stalk so close I can kick them in the nuts, and shoot them with a .22" ego and the same group that requires mockery of anyone who wants to hunt without field artillery ego (followed with recoil insults). Then of course, there are the bushcraft crowd, who looks contemptuously down on anyone who can't live weeks in the bush with nothing but a piece of string and a knife.

I wish I could live in the bush with a knife between my teeth and young legs so I could run shit down! Those were the days….

It's not that I hate the 6.5 Creedmoor or the 338 Lapua. It's just the snipers wana be,that claim to be able to shoot deer at 800 yards. None of the have done it, they just claim to be able to do it.

What I do hate are all of the goofy target turrets on scopes these days.

I can relate! I used to paddle the courier de bois and Hudson Bay trading routes. The thought of a canoe and a Duluth pack on a long portage now makes my back hurt!
