Most Unneeded Rifle Caliber
I was thinking about unneeded rounds that are still made, I thought we could make a poll to see which is the most unneeded!!!
My reconmendations:
22 Mag and 17 HMR- $7/$8 a box, 22 LR is cheaper for targets, 223 is a better round for varmints
30 Carbine,- costly Plinking round, not enough power for deer, too much drop for varments, would have been obsolete without the gun
7.62x39 -Inaccurate, 30/30 power, short range, barely a deer caliber, problem with bore diameter and ammo
ALL MAG loads- Too much recoil, most people cannot hit the broadside of a barn with them, because they kick like a mule, they flinch like a semi coming head on at you, also a price per box that would make you bankrupt if you shot it every week. I would put 458, 375 H&H, 7STW, 7mm Ultra Mag, Winchester Short Mags, Weatherby Mags and others in this category, good only for big bear, elephant, and rhino, and anything else over 1000 lb critter
204-What kind of niche this is supose to have? between the 22 mag and 223?
What is your opinion?
