Rifle calibers you don't like

[vonb]

I have a distaste for recoil. I grew up hunting with a .30-06 b/c that's what everyone had/suggested. If you wanted to hunt anywhere in North America, it was most recommended. It caused me to develop a flinch. It ultimately caused me to start looking at smaller calibers and letting go of the '06. As I get older, I like calibers that allow for follow-through in my shots. However, go to small and I lose confidence in the round.

.270 I won't have another one, for some reason I had the worst luck with it. For deer hunting I don't go over a 30-06 I mostly shot a .243 or 7-08

Its not fun to shoot but my tikka .300WM has been the most accurate, reliable rifle I have ever shot. Im about to put together a .260 rem so my shoulder is excited about that.

I cant say there is a caliber I dont like, if there is, I havent shot it yet. I have .243, .25-06, .30-06, .300WM. with a decent scope and the right bullet, they have all killed deer...

To those that feel that a 30/06 has a lot of recoil, I've never thought it has much. Now, how many shoot 3.5" mag 12 gauges?

I used to for coyotes. Went back to 3" BB shot. Rarely do you shoot more than once and your adrenaline is so high you dont notice.

Have you ever shot a 3.5 mag out of a Mossberg 535? :shock: That thing will rattle your teeth loose!

The 535 turkey model weighs about 3/4-1 pound less than an 870 turkey model. None of the 3.5 mags are fun to shoot but the most tolerable one I have shot was a VersaMax.

I have an 835 and I will agree. It will scramble your brains if you're not careful.

Interesting reading through this.

I don't hate any 1 caliber specifically just some I don't care for.
Like the belted mags but love like the WSMs Rum.
Like other sick of hearing creedmore this n creedmore that,have zip desire to get one.the PRC is sarting to ware thin as well,at least the 6.5 which I have never been a fan of,nothing wrong with em though. Was surprised my uncle got the Creed recently my self would rather have the sweed in the right rifle of coarse.

The recoil on 338s has always bothered me. I a 338fed, 338mx, 338-06 and a 338 win mag and they were all unpleasant to shoot
