I tend to be guided a bit by the parent case

For instance I began with the .300 GNR (on the .30-30), which progressed to the 7mm GNR (sort of a all maxed out 7X30 Waters). With all that brass scrounging it was easy to progress to others like the .256 Falcon. I still have room for the .355 and .400 GNR's too. All on the G2 chassis by the way.

One might also argue as to the influence of the firearm chassis choice. What a pity to limit the big Encore to such small capacity cartridges (excluding "Pirate gun" configurations). The huge .416,.440,.450,476 on that big .50 AK/.348 case are more befitting. Or if you need flatter trajectory the .405 based rounds provide and have generous limits in the bigger gun. (although I have a 9" .327 Federal Encore barrel!)

Revolvers are broken up into simple 6-shot conversions vs 5-shot more complex package rigs and even into the Long frame customs. Finally, one might consider the small frames. I think the chassis is more dictating here.

Almost too much to choose from. What guides you? The cartridge platform or firearm? I know for me it's both.
