Any caliber you really don’t like

[Kdf101]

Is there any particular caliber you don’t like? I guess I don’t actually DISLIKE any caliber, but for me, two come to mind that I just have never warmed up to and don’t really have much appeal to me. 380 and 22 magnum. I just have never felt the desire to buy one. My wife likes her 380, but I never shoot it. My brother loves his 22 magnum, but I just can’t really warm up to it.

380 and 40.

Had both at one point or another and sold them off.

It's not active dislike but I don't see any real point to anything in 7MM/.284. I'm also not a fan of the hype and nonsense surrounding the 6.5 CM but it is a perfectly fine cartridge.

 

[Hookeye]

.45 Colt
.45-70
.38 spcl/.357
6.5 CM
.30-30

 

[Creedmoor]

.45 Colt
.45-70
.38 spcl/.357
6.5 CM
.30-30

Haters gonna hate, butt really 45-70?

 

[Hookeye]

Yup.
Not a fan of rimmed cartridges.

I would agree with 45 colt. I hardly ever see it for sale, when I do it is expensive and seems to be mainly cowboy action wimpy stuff. Seems like a reloaders cartridge now to me.

Any of the straight wall deer crap that will be gone in 10 years.

Any of the stuff that was only invented to sell more AR-15 uppers.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Most of the niche calibers released in the last dozen years.

Do we really need a half dozen 6.5 variants?

.357 Sig is the only cartridge I tried and actively left. That said, I've not seen any reason to branch out that much. I reload, so if I want 'something different' I can typically achieve whatever that is by up or downloading one of my existing cartridges. .45 Colt is incredibly versatile. Anemic to atomic and most anything in between, for example.

.40 Gave up on it a long time ago.

Do you have a Ruger Super Blackhawk to shoot the atomic 45colt in or some other heavy duty revolver?
I'm really looking into the Ruger Super Blackhawk in 45colt just for the atomic loads.

Blasphemy!

You gotta pick of that rimmed 6.5 Creedmoor?

 

[Kdf101]

I like my 6.5 CM. I would prefer the rifle in 308, since I am already set up to reload that, but at the time, the 6.5 was the only thing locally I could find in a Tikka CTR. One of these days I will get me the 308 version.

The Super Blackhawk was in .357 maximum and .44 magnum.

You can get a Blackhawk in .45 Colt

 

[tsilveus]

.40 s&w
.357 sig
Did not enjoy either - sold off guns and ammo years ago

6.5CM made the list simply because I don't like fads.

Redhawk. It will handle anything I'm willing to shoot. For some reason I thought it would be fun to drive a 255gr at 1k fps. It was like high fiving a sledgehammer.

 

[spencer rifle]

Anything I don't/can't reload. Berdan cases.
Though I will give .22LR a break
