In the Old days thats the way it was, one caliber and you did everything with it. Variety is the spice of life nowadays, a safe full of guns is a good thing but we don't spend enough time on any one gun to be great with it.

That is wisdom for sure.
My Dad was an amazing shot. He shot one gun about 95% of the time, maybe more.
When I was younger and shot just my .45 Linebaugh gun all the time I was a much better shot.

In the early 2000's I shot my 6 1/2" 41 Mag Blackhawk a LOT, got pretty good with it, I would set up a 10" round steel plate at 100 yards, standing, using two hands with open sights it was easy to hit 6 for 6 on it with magnum loads. I shot that gun so much I had to send it to Dave Clements to have it worked over, cylinder had gotten a lot of play in it. Also was the gun I did most of my early 41 Mag load work up and chronographing with, it saw a lot of heavy loads.

Kept a rough count of the number of rounds through my first two FA 454s by the number of cases of CCI SR MAG primers I went through. After the case #4 I quit shooting them as much.

The 7.5" that I used the most developed significant endshake and had to be rebuilt by FA a few years ago - probably due to the nuclear loads I used back in the 80s before the cartridge went mainstream and was toned down.

Sadly, speaking for myself, it takes a lot of practice with full power loads to be good with full power loads. Since I don't shoot them as much nowadays, I am pretty miserable with them at longer ranges.

(yes, my right hand signaling finger still has a overlarge middle knuckle)

IS WONDERFUL!
.44 Special ... Keith 250 gr. SWC with 6.5 gr. Unique is quite nice.
.45 Colt ... 250 or 260 gr. with 8 or 8.5 gr. of Unique is all the power I need.

I really enjoy the variety I have but it comes at the price you mention. Not only do I not get good, I never seem to find the "perfect load". But I still like all of them.

I have thoughts, usually in the dregs of winter, when I’m not shooting very much, of selling off about 90% of my conglomeration of stuff and shooting the last ten percent one hundred percent of the time and getting good with it! Then something shiny comes along and I snap it up and play with it awhile and then the cycle repeats over and over again….
