What makes you choose your cartridge ? Does your number 1 choice of game to hunt dictate the rest or do you have multiple guns for the list ..

For me I have mostly switched to the 300 WSM because my order of these are

1--- elk
2----black bear
3---- moose
4 --- deer
5---- sheep , probably no more
This year for me the hunts went like in this chronological order:
1) black bear, kimber 280AI, 140 gmx
3) stone sheep, kimber 280AI with 162 Amax's.
4) elk, Mauser custom 300 wm with 180gr Winchester factory rounds
5) moose, same custom as above
6) mule deer, Remington 243AI, 105 Amax
6) whitetail, kimber 223AI, 75 amax.

Generally depends on my mood, and what's new in the safe and hasn't been blooded yet. With the exception of the 243AI/223AI, those get hunted for deer every year simply because I have much love for the rifles and clamberings.
