Most over rated rifle cartridge

[topduarte]

30 06 is the most overrated imo.

My favorite hunting cartridge is 7mm Remington Magnum.

6.5 Creedmoor is for the gays

100% over-rated cartridge

I don't know about over-rated, haven't shot most of the catridges listed here. But if the question were most under-rated, that prize has to go to the ol' 30-30. Inside 200 yards of course.

Yep. Does everything a 300 BO does, just not as well.

Over rated is the 6.5 grendel, overpriced too.

It didn't win 2 world wars for you to talk mess about it.

The last wars we won. Maybe we should bring it back!

Y'all are funny.
Everyone knows that every cartridge has its place, and therefore the ultimate goal of gun folks is to own a gun in every caliber ever developed.
That way, you can always come up with the perfect cartridge for ANY use.
And if you don't need that perfect choice, wellllll.....
You can grab any ammo bargain and have something to shoot that ammo in.

Meh. No need to get worked up over your overpriced 7.62x39

7.62x39 Commie round

7.62x39 Commie round

It is.

It's also a ballistic clone of .30-30 at half the cost

 

[Moonpie]

It is.

It's also a ballistic clone of .30-30 at half the cost

And beats the 30carbine like a drum.

[Younggun]

And accuracy.

Every cartridge is over hyped, that's the marketing part of the industry. There isn't a universal cartridge, they all go bang (with good ammo). I like the variety and I want at least 1 of everything. As for all of you snobs, you don't know what you are missing by focusing on just a few cartridges in focused calibers.

You sound like someone who puts beans in their chili.

Not hardly, but when someone mentions a caliber I like to say "I have one of those", and, according to my wife, I probably do.

Yup! This is a case of liking a cartridge because of the platform. As an old fart I have a fondness for lever guns. 30-30 has major limitations in terms of energy and ballistic coefficient, sure. But it is way more effective than most people give it credit for.
