Do I understand right that 'too many of the same calibre' in WA can mean that if you have a .22LR and a .22 mag, or even a .17HMR, you'll probably have to fight to get a .22 centrefire?

No it means if you have 2 x.243 bolt action rifles and want another similar eyebrows will go up as you could start handing them out and have a small army in the same chambering.If you wish for a lever gun that is different.I got a second .243 because I said I needed a spare for roo shooting.You need 13 golf clubs 13 fishing rods and 13 firearms.If you are after a different chambering that performs very similar to what you already have you may have to dispose of the other before they allow you to take possesion.like 308 and 30/06.its mainly in the medium centre fire rifles range.rimfires are not an issue

Thanks mate, that'll settle an argument between me and a mate. But will probably cause a few arguments with my wallet, and the minister of war and finance, I feel I may need to order a larger safe haha
