My father taught me to only own 4 types of ammo. He says you need a plinking/small game round, a Large game round, a shotgun round and a Handgun round

For him it was 22LR, 30-06 12ga and 45acp

For me its 22LR, 45/70, 12ga and 357 magnum.

If I had to pick just one it would be 357 magnum.

Keeping things simple is a good thing you can stock up on less kinds of ammo. Wish I could get my wife to agree but she loves her 380acp

I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull. all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
