Anything that has "ultra" or "ultra mag" or "Weatherby" in the name.

I have not read any posts yet but will.

I don't like the 270 Win, 308 Win or the 7mm Rem Mag. They don't do anything my 30-06 will in my opinion. There are plenty of other calibers that I don't care for but I wouldn't consider them "great" in the first place.

Edited: After reading page one I see another that definitely should have been on my list, the 243 Win. That one should have been my #1 dislike.

I just know what I will never use - ammo like WSM,WSSM,RUM,RSUM. Yet better, I feel that there are sexy things and things that don't impress me much. Why? Its very much a personal matter. And its all about our expectations, wisches, imaginations...

I dislike the .30-06, but the 7.62x63 is OK. Cool

There is always one in the crowd! The 7.62x63 can't possibly equal 30-06 in performance! Backatcha!

30-30 is the most hated by me. Everyone I ever shot was loud, underpowered, and kicked.

I would not call it a hate but I dislike anything Weatherby. Overpressured for no reason.

I'm not fond of the 243. I truly don't like anything "Weatherby" and those Lazzeroni rounds. I just don't see their appeal especially when I have to pay extra for the name.

There are lots of reasons to dislike a cartridge for me, but package and performance of the bullet makes or breaks a cartridge. Look at the 30 Carbine, the rifle is a dream but the cartridge is a dud. I can't find any love for 8mm Magnums, but my gun safe has .338 and .366 caliber guns, with plenty of bullets and great rifles to chamber them in. I couldn't find any love for the .30-06, until I got a Colt Light Rifle, now it gets a change to go out in the woods. Before this, a .308 Winchester was high on my medium game list, lots of good bullets and rifles. Yes, it works on elk and deer.

Short, skinny, fat or tall, for hells sakes boys I love em all..

If it goes bang when I pull a trigger, and I could concievably punch something, break something, or kill something with it then whats not to like?

Kinda reminds me of some gals that I have been with in my past.
Some I might not have wanted to take home to meet Mom,, but to a one they all had their good points, or point..

I love em all.

My likes and dislikes have more to do with the rifles rather than the cartridge.

As in I don't much care for a .243 but I can't stand a Model 94 Winchester.

There is no reason on earth for a 6.5 Rem Mag or a .375 Win.

Oh yeah I hate .223s, 5.56s and AR-15s and all of it clones.

I am willing to take any weapon in any caliber disliked by others. So if you happen to own a gun in a caliber you hate feel free to send it to me. Big Grin

there are lots of cartridges that I'll never own for various reasons...most common reason is I just don't need one.

But to actually dislike a particular cartridge is strange in my opinion.

Let's dislike poachers and anti-gunners instead.

Just like to be different? I'll take both, and so does most of the shooting world. Sounds like a Chevy/Ford/Dodge kind of thing.
