For hunting purposes only? .308 Winchester.
I mean, why when there's .30-06? |

I don't "dislike" any calibers. There are several I wouldn't buy unless I had a really specific utility for them, but "dislike" is not possible.

.243, .270, and any short mag. Wtf is the point. I prefer 243 to 308 for hunting. 308 really is overkill on medium game like white tail unless you plan to shoot them from beyond 300-400 yards. 243 produces less recoil, is more pleasant to practice with, and a has a reputation for good accuracy. Last deer I shot was with a 243 from 207 yards, verified by range finder. DRT, double lung shot. It works. |

7mm mag. Every goober around here comes equipped with one that he shoots infrequently and poorly when he does. I'm sure out west where the shots are longer someone who was dedicated to the craft of shooting could make use of one. I've killed more deer with .35 Remington and 30-06 than anything else. Used to have one. Accurate and highly effective. I also had to go the chiropractor every time I lit one off, so I traded it

Some people like myself that owns both calibers don't care for the extra recoil of the 06 and prefer a short action to a long action in hunting bolt rifles. And last, a .308 does very well in a short barrel length right down to 16 inches. Not so much the 06. |

The .30-30 is tits Cheap, effective, soft recoil, easy to reload, and you can drop spitizers in for a 300 yard rifle. Its the freaking OG of hunting cartridges, and a large number of hunters would be better off with a dirty thirty than 7.666mmWSSSMSuperflyTNTUltraMag. |

Back around 1994 i passed up on a brand new Winchester Trapper Carbine in 7-30 Waters and I have been kicking myself ever since. Sitting next to it was the same model in 44mag, I did get that, and it is still in the box.

Never could get into 338 Win Mag. Never could get into 338. Lot's of recoil, for most situations doesn't outpace 30-06 or 300 win mag, for the heavier bullets 375 H&H does a far better job with pretty much the same recoil. Throw the .35 Whelen into the mix and the 338's utility becomes even less. I know a lot of people swear by 338 win mag for Grizzly and Moose. .243 |

284 Winchester....what drugs were used to come up with this cartridge... The reigning world champing in 1000yd F-Class used a 284. At long range, 7mm is king. The short mag has a ballistic edge but burns the barrel out much faster. 284 = more shooting per barrel. |

I wouldn't use the word dislike, but there are plenty of cartridges I don't have any overwhelming desire to own. I have noticed that I no longer own any heavy kickers...well, except for my 45-70 and I shoot cowboy level loads in it. I find I like having my retinas right where they are, it's ever so much more convenient that way. |

Dislike cartridges? When I only had a pellet gun I would've traded most anything for ANY cartridge! That being said, unless given to me I would not buy a 16 or 28 ga shotgun, 25 ACP, 32 ACP, or 30-30. There are probably more but those are the ones I can think of right now.

A more reasonable maximum is 180gr. 308 is usable for a lot of things. But it's not ideal for anything. Same with 30-06. |
