Through the ammo 'shortage', and still, there has been 30-06 and 270 on the Walmart shelf, now there is 308 and 223, which was not available last year.
Ive come to the conclusion I dont need, or want, the whole caliber spread or much 'overlap' anymore; kinda heading to the KIS end of selection makes sense.
If I had a total loss fire or theft I could see me getting a 270 for varmints through deer for my area and 'needs'.
