I pick the gun more so than the cartridge, the cartridge just needs to be a useable one for a given purpose. I like to use different cartridges if I can, but have stuck within calibre for the most part. Ie; 2 different 22cal cartridges, 2 different 7mm, and a couple of 30cal for the guns I want to hunt with or use outside of a range. I built a 218Bee after owning 22-250 and 223, less powder and enough range for 95% of varmint stuff, built it on a Stevens 44-1/2 action. Ordered a SXS rifle in 30R Blaser, enough power for anything I want to shoot with it, in a gun style I'd always wanted to own, and different to run of the mill cartridges. Bought a 7-08 in a #1 for a range gun and a hunting gun, the gun turns my crank, the cartridge will do what needs doing, works well with cast bullets, easy to shoot on the range as well.
