I've gotten down to a 223 and 270 that will cover any big game I'll ever hunt. Past three years I've moved to a minimalist mindset with the stuff and an 80% return on 20% effort way of thinking. Forums, marketing, and clicks will make a fella think he needs a lot of things he doesn't.
Good thing is to know how to buy so that when it does go full circle, you've only wasted a little time monkeying with stuff.
I found handloading to be the biggest time/money killer and was happy to see it all go down the road.
You've just gotta be confident in what you have/do and to hell with what anyone else says/does.
Some wisdom here for sure. I played with reloading for ARs and pistols for awhile. Started off with a single stage my wife got me, talked myself into a turret and then a progressive before I figured out I really don't shoot enough to warrant that setup so I got rid of everything but the single stage, ending up right back where I began. Fortunately didn't lose much on the deals.
I think I could do all I'd likely ever need with a 223 semi or bolt, .308 and 300WSM bolts. Plus shotguns, handguns and .22s of course!
