I just ended up culling off all my bigger, hard kicking cartridges, except for a slug gun, and hopefully I won't ever need that again now.
There's no game animals larger than whitetail here, and I don't travel to hunt other than the odd hop across the state line into Indiana (which I live right on). Sentimental value is the only reason I still have my 308 Win, because it is not a fun rifle to shoot. It's light, and the stock fits me terribly.
