Ignition Override

Having both a Mini 14 and 30, plus the SKS and two MN 44s, it seems somewhat impractical to keep the 14 for many years due to the higher prices for Wolf (etc) .223 compared to most 7.62x39. I made my first gun purchase one year ago.
Do many of you guys shoot just one type of interm.-caliber for plinking, (although very remote chance for) possible self-defense one day?
As a long-term investment against much higher ammo taxes or bans on imported ammo etc, do many people buy only one type?
Sure, in that case "all of your eggs are in one basket". Lots of people appear to have large bulk quantities of .223 from when it was cheap, or simply buy Remington etc and don't shoot very often. The idea of acquiring a second SKS plus an extra 4,000 rds. of ammo in a possible (?) future trade for the used, old Mini plus 2400 rds. could exert a strong appeal, although the market might not be there.
Still a novice (frequent plinker) although middle-aged.
