Don't understand this 2 bullets on the same hunt thing at all (no offense towards anybody). Fiddle farting around with which bullet I want in the chamber is the last thing I want on my mind when hunting.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Fiddle farting around with which bullet I want in the chamber is the last thing I want on my mind when hunting. Bingo. One load. One drop chart. I have which load in what pocket?? Oops, just dropped my rounds in a snowbank, hey, there goes the elk over the hill....

Fiddle farting around with which bullet I want in the chamber is the last thing I want on my mind when hunting. I agree. Fiddling with a pair that are really different is not a hot idea. Generally i avoid it. But three decades of killing stuff with my two has proved.....it really doesn't matter which one ends up in the chamber. Most times I don't even look at which one is going in. Some days I load the magazine with BBC's and others with Partitions. I'm not "messing" around with anything. I know them both stone cold. I certainly wouldn't do it if there was the slightest difference....but in my rifles, there isn't.If there was i wouldn't do it.

One load for a hunt in my book. If I'm going elk/deer hunting I take the elk load. If you may be taking a longer-dtsance shot, then know your ballistics.

It seems that Liar-lee24 advocate for different calibers on a hunt.

When I'm hunting at the Ranch with my Remington Model 700 Classic in .264 Win. mag., I carry two different loads in my pocket, that both just happen to shoot to the exact same point of aim. One load is the 125 grain Partitions for deer and hogs, and the other load is the 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips, for Coyotes.
Out of all my various hunting rifles, that particular .264 Win. mag is the only one that will shoot two different loads with two different bullets to the exact same point of aim.

I keep it simple. Sometimes i'll hunt an elk and mule deer in the same season. I just load up an elk load, and if I shoot a muley I knock it for a loop with the elk load.

Allow me to explain.....sitting on clearcuts (first light and last light), with shots out to 500+, I have the 165's in the rifle. Mid-day, still hunting the black timber, I have the 220's in. Where I hunt whitetails, here in Idaho, there is not much "in between" country, and I only swap ammo once I'm set up to glass the clearcuts. Never had the problem of having the wrong ammo in at the wrong time....and like I said, I only do this with the one rifle, because of the POI of the two loads, in relation to each other. I do have other dedicated long range rifles and timber guns, that I use too. The '06 allows me to do the same with one rifle with the 2 loads. Andy 3

You have a plan that works for you.
I use a different plan, but both plans work for us.

If that's what you imagine it looks like, then I can see where the 'You're doing it wrong' attitude comes from. I assure you, if it looked like that, I would be doing it wrong. Fortunately, I have several billion brain cells and can operate at a higher functional rate than what you describe. I also understand planning, keeping it simple. I don't recommend very many of the ways I do things to others. Why would I? I do describe the way I do things and let others decide what will work for them, given what they want to experience. My shared ideas may invite them to something that more closely matches what they want, as others here have done for me in the last 8-9 years. I advocate as much simplicity as can be discovered for those to whom I give advice regarding guns and hunting. I'll personally never be the guy that shoots one load per rifle, and has a dozen rifles for all his varied pursuits.
