Deal with SHTF when it happens.
I may venture out into another caliber which at one point I didn't want to do. 5.56, 308, 9mm and 45 ACP are my main ones. Not sure which direction to go at this point to be honest.
That said I have mostly common caliber firearms with a few that you can't normally even find ammo for sale.
22LR, super cheap, so easy to stock plenty of it, light weight to carry a lot of it, if needed, plenty of ammo/rifles/handguns in circulation, relatively quiet when suppressed, no need to waste larger, more expensive ammo on small game.
Those are some great calibers, and with those covered, I'm thinking your next option might be up, down, or all around... ;-)
Up: Something more more range, or maybe more specifically, for taking larger game, e.g. 30.06 or 7mm, etc...
Down: i.e. 22LR, super cheap, so easy to stock plenty of it, light weight to carry a lot of it, if needed, plenty of ammo/rifles/handguns in circulation, relatively quiet when suppressed, no need to waste larger, more expensive ammo on small game. I suppose you could also get a high velocity pellet gun for some of the same reasons, plus the ability to possibly shoot something using air pressure, if out of rounds/gun powder.
All around: Some kind of shotgun... Most likely 12 gauge, since the ammo tends to be reasonably priced, and you can run anything from birdshot to buckshot to slugs for the range of applications from pest control/small game, to birds, go large game to self-defense. Also plenty of them (and ammo) in circulation out there.
@cHaOsReX , give 5.7 another consideration! Obviously depends on your personal circumstances, but for us that caliber is near on the perfect midrange personal defense system.
Ps90 & FN5.7.
Ammo is a touch over what 5.56 was but a few weeks ago over at Palmetto state armory, shipped!
My issue with 5.7 isn't the price, it's the scarcity. And we're talking SHtF here, I'm looking at long term rather than short. In long term I want calibers easily scavenged and 5.7 wouldn't make that category (I believe anyway). If it were, say what .40 is to 9mm I'd be all over it (even with the current decline of .40). But I think that 5.7 is probably more like .50AE, meaning more people talk about than actually have it.
Otherwise I love the round for what it is.
OH Brother I got all that covered just didn't mention because they aren't my main ones. .22 I own two rifles a pistol and 4000 rounds of ammo. Just sold my 30-06 and all its ammo to a good friend and the 12 gauge yep got that to.
To quote Mr. Burns: "Exxxxxcellent..."
As a side note, for the safety of all man-kind, I sure hope you transferred your 30.06 through an FFL with a BGC... Who knows what kind of misfortune the world might have experienced if you hadn't... ; - )
