The 7.62 x 54R cartridge. Not sure anyone loves it, but it's not quite up to hate-able. Maybe close. Something I read once put it between the .308 and the .30-'06 in terms of muzzle velocity and general energy. The Tsar and the USSR certainly got plenty of mileage out of the thing. I think it's still out there being used in something, and at 130 years old, that's impressive.
I do know that if you misaligned the rims in the magazine that you'll do a lot of cussing while sorting out the jam issue.
