SHTF Rifle conceptual fallacies? (long)

I've chosen an M1 as my main rifle, especially being in a rural area.
The ammo issue that many allude to (no readily available milsurp 30-06) is easily overcome by 2 things (not counting stocking up on the good stuff like Danish milsurp):
1) some standard ammo (Rem Core-lokt 150gr) works just fine in M1s
2) there are now 2 adjustable gas nuts (McCann, ADCO) that obviate any availability problem if you figure out what setting to use. I've never been in a gunstore or department store that sold ammo anywhere in the USA or Canada and not seen multiple boxes of 30-06 present.
Regards,
Bob
