I feel good about my stockpile of buckshot ammo to be honest.
I can't find buckshot ANYWHERE. Only some overpriced slugs. All I have is a single box of hot waterfowl loads (heh). Granted, I only keep it for home defense, so that's good enough.
I went to Cabela's right before things really went south looking for ammo. The place was wiped out. What I did learn is that you need a large caliber hunting rifle (like a 6.5 Creedmoor) and a large caliber handgun (.357/.44 mag) to survive the apocalypse, since nobody buys those.
When all the craziness calms down, I think I will start rounding out the collection with the last four guns I want:
1) Either a Walther PPQ or CZ P10 9mm for personal carry
2) A .357 mag revolver, preferably a Ruger Redhawk, but will see what deals I come across at some point. I'd kill for a nickel finish Colt Python with a 6" barrel because my dad had one, but they are going for nearly FOUR GRAND.
3) An AR carbine - I have a full size DCM match rifle, but really want a shorty with a red dot for plinking fun.
4) Savage Model 10 GRS - I'm really torn between .308 and 6.5 Creedmor here, but I don't think I would shoot enough to justify sacrificing all the good of the 6.5 Creedmor for the fact that the .308 is cheaper to shoot. That's probably one where I'd consider reloading ammo for accuracy anyways. Really good optics would be a must here (I still remember the first time looking through Swarovski glass, but good lord is that stuff expensive.)
