I'd only use weatherby rounds if shtf.
Because even if the world is collapsing around us, I still want people to know I can't be trusted with money.

Look at the ammo panic that happened after sandy hook. Everything was gone.

You'd want something that was a common enough round and that is easily available, but also isn't the most popular. Honestly for a rifle, I'd want either a bolt action or BAR in .243. It's a round that is available everywhere but that not many would think about taking in a SHTF scenario. A BAR would be neat and they're reliable enough, but a bolt action would be foolproof and I wouldn't have to worry about spare parts as much as a BAR.

Also inb4
>LOL BAR!
It's obvious that I'm not talking about the 1918 BAR.
>>
.22 or 12 guage
>>
>>29451695
This plus 12 ga
>>
Most popular among men would be 30.06, .45ACP and 12 buck. Who cares what the sissies use.
>>
>>29451622
From most to least
>22lr
>12 gauge
>9mm
>.223/5.56
>20 gauge
>.308/7.62
>.45

>>29451622
Doesn't matter

If you think you're going to get ammo off other people after l33t operating /trade gold or some retarded shit for food and ammo then just come to terms with being part of the 90% die off come a national level disaster.

The only ammo you have is the ammo you have on you.

223, 9mm, and 30-30.
