The coolness of cartridges...

i don't give a crap about cool, kewl, or whatever- i use WHAT GETS THE JOB DONE- and if i was right handed that would be an '06 - what's listed as the most uncool- the 338 is too much for what i hunt most of the time- but since i'm a lefty it;s a lot of 308's , and levers- and some in both 308 and lever-but we're getting this from a guy that USED TO CARRY A SPEAR

Wow! In the history of the Internets, on CGN, or just since 8:00 this morning? Sarcastic - right? :cool:

Since when did subjective opionions become "research"?

A fun thread for sure and well started, but sheesh.

I think we may be dealing with a colloquialism here Andy.

Out west the word researched used in this context would mean : Written after 6 Rum and cokes with less than 10 typo's"

I wish I knew how to quit you....:D Anyone else suffer through that one??:D
 
So I may not be Kool, because i shoot a 6.5X55 BUT it is in an express gun, and IMHO THAT is UBER KOOL!:D
Besides, i have 6.5WSM, 6.5WSSM, 6.5/284 in my stable so one of them would be kool maybe??:rolleyes:
Not that I was ever accused of running running with the herd!:cool:

All this really did was put you in a category with Vanilla Ice and the white kid from the "Pretty fly for a White Guy" video. Realistically we don't know where that is, but it is not anywhere near cool.:cool:

The James Dean of all cartridges is the .270 WCF. Why? Because J O'C used it and he was the coolest gun scribe ever.....
The 338-06 (or .333 OKH) is the John Wayne of cartridges, because Ol' Elmer basically invented it, it ain't flashy, it gets the job done right now, but it looks mean and you don't want it to punch you in the face.

I am devastated!:runaway: I just now find out that I have a large collection of "uncool" rifles.:( What will I do?????:confused: Here I have been hunting, collecting, shooting, and generally BS'ing all these years with these silly old things and didn't know how obviously out-of-touch I've been. Imagine - 30-06, 8x57, 6.5x55, 7x57, and all those other silly, useless old cartridges with no "knockdown power" or "flat trajectory". It must have been pure luck that I ever managed to scare anything at all. :p:p
