Its my understanding that combat is not like IPSC, you don't always have time to pick up your brass afterwards. Something you just might want to consider!

I never discount what gunkid says out of hand. I always read it first, then I discount it! There is a benefit to having a caliber that is easy to find replacement ammo in. First it will be more readily available for the firearm that you have chosen. Secondly if a member of your group has a firearm in the same caliber, you can help resupply him in an emergency. Helping someone you can trust could save your own life somewhere down the road! Something to think about.

Gunkid aka BOB, you failed to understand my second point, if you have to share ammunition with someone else in your team, a common caliber is an asset. A wildcat is detrimental in a combat situation.

Try digesting what others say and at least have the manners to acknowledge it. We live in a very widespread continent, covering mavy geographical enviornments, with great temperature fluctuations. What suits you, won't necessarily be the best choice for me if the balloon ever went up. Please post a detailed kit list, of what you have packed and ready to go at this very minute!

Maybe your partner lost his kit, in a water crossing, during an ambush, during a home theft, engaging dog packs whatever! Anything is possible. You assume that all the bad guys are going to have auto rifles, so why don't you assume that we will also??

So what your saying that because you can reload your .460 is a great survival caliber if the balloon ever goes up? I guess that means so is my .38-55 or Stillwells .38-40 or .44-40 also!!!!!

I was being sarcastic!
