Well at some point the increase in caliber has to matter.
.257 to .277 is a .020 jump .277 to .284 is .007 .284 to .308 is .024
And so it goes. You can inch your way to 8mm then .338 then the .020 to .358. At some point you have to draw a line and say "OK, a __________(fill in the blank) caliber rifle isn't 'small.'"
