The "NUT" behind the trigger remains the biggest factor, as shown in my sig line.

I always choose my calibre first, then the cartridge for the intended game.
I chose my 257AI first because brass was plentiful at the time, bullets were too.
Later, brass was difficult to get.
Bought a 25-06 next, never have I had brass issues. Then a 25-300WSM…
Then, a 257 Weatherby fell into my lap.
I think I have 25 cal covered.
My point here is, you CAN do it all with ONE calibre, but it's nicer to have different levels of power to choose from.
I have similar step ups in 6.5, 270, 7, 30, 33 & 37. None are really NEEDED but that's what I want.
Cheers.
