You base your gun selection on whether or not you can buy ammo at gas stations?



No but I don’t buy atypical cartridges that aren’t easily accessible in a pinch. I know a bunch of guys like wildcat or obscure cartridges. The ammo can be difficult to obtain if ammo is lost or forgotten at home. I have done it and I know most have done it once in their hunting career. There are PLENTY rounds out there that are mainstream and more than adequate. I just suggest getting a more common round.

You may think it’s stupid but I think it’s wise.

Ask the people trying to find WSM ammo how that’s worked out for them.
