IMHO, the first thingone shouldconsider is WHATYOU ALREADY HAVE. I believe wholeheartedly in "cartridge spacing" ...
I agree with Elkampmaster on this one. For me, another choice is 'what gun is left handed?' - one of those...
Sometimes after I've bought a caliber, my friends do ask "Why did you buy "that" caliber?" Like when I got the 338 RUM...
Cuz I didn't have one, it was left handed, and the gun store had it drastically discounted when they couldn't find anyone to buy it!
