Is it time for caliber categories?

[Hw9720]

With all the calibers available, is it time to have a category break down? This would mostly benefit clarity for competitions
i.e.: .177,.20, .22 and .25 small-bore
.257, .9mm .30, 308, .35 and .357 mid-bore
.45,.50. 62 and .72 large-bores. (Please add any I left out).

I'm not following the compactions part. But yea, I like looking at that kind of info and data.

Personally, I've never liked boards that are cut-up with too many different categories. Think GTA..., what a mess that place has become!

No, At some point the training wheels come off and stay off.

This is NOT intended as rain on the parade.
Unfortunately there is often some trade off between specificity, retrievability, and accessibility. Imagine having a different drawer in your kitchen for forks, salad forks, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc. You know exactly what's in each drawer but your food is cold before you can get all your utensils out. It gets even more complicated when you have sub types like gold and silver of each.
Each of the calibers listed could be broken down into many sub categories. Hunting, Target, Collectible, Lefty, FPE, Range...
I like the idea of easily finding a specific topic but it usually doesn't pay off in use.

The lay out would become much too busy. I like it just the way it is.
