I am a big fan of simple. Over the past several years I have sold every gun that had not been shot in a couple of years, every 10mm, 45, 380, 243, 30-06 and .338 gun I own, and quit reloading in favor buying bulk factory ammo. I got rid of all the parts of shooting I don't like (except for cleaning) and kept all the parts I do like. Before I simplified I had made shooting such a time consuming chore I was going to range less frequently and enjoying guns/shooting a lt less in general.

But a big part of keeping things simple for me was buying enough in the calibers I do own that I would not have to worry about it during the next ammo shortage. Which is a lot easier to do if you only have a handful of calibers to stock up on.

I ended up having a core group of guns that work well for me and a few others that come and go as I try something that looks fun or I am curious about. And occasionally I find one I like so much it replaces something in my core group. But I am done with having so many guns and types of ammo I need a spreadsheet to keep track of them.
