I think as a lot of folks finally grow up and start getting old and losing that macho attitude... they find that a 24, 25 or 26 caliber on a short action case, sort of kills just as well as something in the 30, 33 or 35 Caliber rounds
I've been pondering this very thing about downsizing and keeping only short action rifles in non-magnum chamberings.
The only long action I'd keep would be a fave 257Roberts which would do most of what my 270s would do and a 358Win would replace my 375magnum. A 223, 22/250, 7/08 & 308 would do everything else.
