NOTE: This thread is NOT designed to start controversy or drama, it's simply a question of opinion.
Since I made a thread a while back asking what you guys felt were the most underrated handgun/rifle cartridges, I figured I'd see what everybody's opinions were on overrated cartridges. As the note above implies, this isn't a dig at anybody or an attempt to start trouble, nor is it an opening of a door to badmouth peoples' choice in firearms/ammunition. What I mean by overrated is along the lines of how certain cartridges are made out to be (by a lot of their users) more powerful, efficient, etc than they actually are. While I understand this is the case with almost ALL cartridges to some extent or another, there's no denying that some cartridges have more of a "cult following" (for the lack of a better term) than others.
