Now Mr. Norma knows how to interpret the rules! Pick your caliber not cartridge!
As an example, 45ACP, 45LC, 45-70, etc

410 over 12 gauge? That's interesting.22lr

3" .410 slugs and buckshot will do for two-legged varmints just fine at close range, and 2.5" birdshot will still bring down small game with minimal meat damage.410 over 12 gauge? That's interesting
If you were going to cut down to say 5 different calibers/gauges to keep stocked, and only have guns chambered in these rounds, which rounds would they be?
This is all rounds, rifle, handgun, shotgun etc.
For my area, im thinking it would look like this.
1. 12g
2. 5.56
3. 357 mag
4. 30-06
5. 9mm
I would be really sad not having a 10mm though and may bump out the 357 for it.
Once the painful deliberations were completed, I'd probably end up with this same list. I'd miss my .357 revolvers, and the .22 Magnums, and the lone 45 ACP CZ 97B (that I love), but I could do anything I want to do with these calibers. And, these calibers account for 79% of my guns anyway, so I wouldn't be impacted too much if I could keep everything I have in each caliber.22 LR

Choosing 308 over 30-06 was tough. But 21st century 308 loads exceed WW-2 era 30-06 performance by a sizeable margin. Of course modern 30-06 will always slightly beat 308, but a lighter, more compact rifle with less recoil is just too appealing. And by a small margin I find 308 more accurate.
Correct, Simply because the way ammo is Today you can't pick and choose. You can only take whats on the shelf today.Hmmmmm ... I count more than five. Maybe a limit of five isn't possible?????
