This is the inverse of @marksman13 thread on why you might like under performing, or obsolete cartridges.
This thread, why do you dislike otherwise perfectly capable, otherwise popular cartridges?
I'll kick it off with my two choices, which I'm sure will get someone riled up but let's try and keep it light hearted.
30-06, outside of 200gr loads it dosen't really do anything a 308win won't, out of a bigger, heavier gun. In >180gr or less loadings, the two are close enough in performance that's there's practically no difference.
270win, yes it's a nice flat shooting cartridge. Not terrible on recoil. Kills game dead. But compared to cartridges on either side, 6.5 or 7mm the twist is too slow to use nice heavy bullets, limited to about 150gr give or take. Not that I plan on frequently loading VLDs or 175gr RNSP's in my 280Rem, but I have the option.
So what's your "Yeah, it's a good cartridge, but I just can't abide it"- cartridges?
