This... ...and this... ...and especially this.

That's why I buy old rifles and/or spend money on reamers and one of the reasons why I eventually got 6.5CM.

Yeah I know. Absolutely stupid.

Hahahaha. I also see no need for 25 auto (weak) or 380 ACP (we have 9mm). But I like 32 ACP. If only we could carry pistols here in Canada. Would love to have one in my pocket or holster.

Why the 7mm Backcountry?

Well...then list them for us. I'm sure we would like to know.

Thank you Spike and no problem. I know the OP may have sounded to not everyone's liking but it was meant to rationalize my opinions and spark discussion. I was genuinely wondering if other people had rational/irrational dislike or even hate for some cartridges. I see there are few like me that...

Not being presumptuous...was just wondering. I'm not an American and did not grow up in Canada so my like/dislike for .30 cal is just that. It is a love-hate relationship. I hate loving them and sometimes I like to hate some of them. Hahaha. All in jest, kind of like Ron Spomer does not like the...

I’m not denying the usefulness of them in SA. But I will probably try to het rid of the actions or keep them in 6.5 CM, 7-08/7 SAW or .308 (yuck). Going by what barrels I have and what reloading components etc.

Never explored these. When I was younger I was not interested in them or did not know them. Now it would be just couple more calibers I would need to buy stuff for.

Kind of one of my points. I’m sure it is good for military, but for hunting there seem to be better choices, even those based on the .308 case. The belt feeding may be a point as well but I'm sure other cartridges were made to feed well so IMHO whatever. That still does not make me like it.:ROFLMAO:

FTR competitions. Plus my son wanted one. Plus I bought a Ruger Scout rifle at one point. The FTR and silhouette buddies comvinced me I needed a SA. Now I have these short actions and will probably use only 1 for shooting paper. So what to do with the others? Build a .308 or 6.5CM or 7mm-08 or...

I'm GenX but I'm an old soul. I know the 7x57 is not ideal anymore, but given when it was conceived, I think it is near perfect. LOL. Flame suit on. I also absolutely love the old Ought-six but somehow grew a bit tired of it for now...the .308 always seems louder and have more recoil than I...

No, you read it right. It might be baffling to you and many others. And sometimes it is baffling to me. But that is just how I feel. Now, with NAS3 cases, maybe I will get to like it after all. But only because it would make it more like the 30-06. Maybe if the .300 Savage was a .275 Savage it...

Well...let us know. ;)
