I GOTTA COME CLEAN !

[jonbearman]

Recently on this site and others I have seen threads about what your favorite caliber is and why. So I read these answers and one of my favorites is .308 win. So another thread starts and everyone loves the 30-30 win and I chime in it is one of my favorites too. This happens all the time for years so I am going to blow your mind, they are all my favorites. I cant name one I think really sucks because they all can get the job done in the hunting end of it. Now benchrest is a sticky wicket and my favorites are 6BR , 6PPC , and 30BR which I need. In the end what ever works for you is cool with me. Can we agree we love them all?

I will bite. I can love them all-- except CM....haters flame on...

I for the life of me do not understand why some people hate certain cartridges

I just don’t get it

Some like the 270 are totally useless sure, but I couldn’t lose sleep over it.

I'm not much of a fan of a .458 Win Mag, but do enjoy seeing others shoot one

Now that’s hilarious to me! Some of my factory ammo shooting in- laws all shoot the .270. Heck, even when their kids get old enough to go they get a .270. Poor little fellas will never know the joy of a new popular round.

You HAVE to try the 6.5x47!!!

True --well at least they wont get an old 30-06 to kick the dog snot out of them!!

But it is just the step brother of the fabulous 6.5 Creedmoor.
Why choose a Prius when you can have a Telsa?!

They all have a place and are fun to shoot, no matter what. That is why it is called a shooting sport and hunting.

Well, if you had the 25-06 I had you would understand hate!

That’s a shame that they came so close to having an 06 and didn’t make it there. Well life’s not fair I guess.

My question is if you’ve shot a 6BR and don’t (love it exclusively) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!

Personally I think a Tesla is a over priced POS with limited range, whereas the Prius with gas and electric will drive it into the ground......
But that's another story.
Talked to a buddy today whose building a 6.5x47ai, cant wait to see how it turns out for him.

I know that I have to build one of those sometime. Maybe my excuse will be that I don’t have a single shot and I always wanted one!

Myself and my cohort in crime, Phideoux The Wonderdog, created the mighty "Redneck Creedmoor
Talisman", but it hangs on a 308.

Now don't go getting all up tight. It was just a metaphor so to speak.
But isn't a 6.5-47 LAI just gonna be a 6.5 Creedmoor of a different color?

If it wasn’t once loaded with black powder it’s not a real cartridge. 30-30 45-70 44-40 38-55 and all the others. My carry gun is a 1851 Navy. I fire six shots and disappear in the smoke.

Didn't you buy that one new?

I shoot some chambering out of pure necessity. The 6PPC and the 30BR being the two most necessary for the type of shooting I do. I don’t love them, I need them.

When I built a really nice custom “hunting rifle” several years back, I chose the 30-06. I know, if Menthusela had been a hunter, he would have shot an ‘06. It’s an ancient relic from so far back that even my Grandparents were looking for something more modern.

But I like it. It’s uniquely American.
