Sounds like we've gone through a somewhat similar transformation. While I still have several rifles chambered for magnums and medium-bores from .30 caliber to .416, they're mostly kept around for test purposes, since I haven't hunted with any of them since 2011. The "big" rifle I've hunted with since then is a 26 Nosler, and it hasn't gone hunting nearly as much as several other rifles chambered for smaller rounds.
