    Light is nice but by no means essential.
    My 223rem weighs 4.2kgs ready to shoot and I've carried that all over the place and I am by no means a Sherpa. A bit of heft in a more powerful cartridge can be a good thing too, when it comes to shooting it.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
