When you shoot a firearm with less common factory ammo, you just have to plan ahead. Some people are planners, while most people live more or less spontaneously.
Agreed. Fortunately I began handloading early on so I've never been dependent on factory ammo. Plus I believed in stocking up on components. It only makes sense to me. I never felt the PINCH of the 22 RF 'shortage'.

I started handloading when I was 12 so that I could feed my 219 Zipper, 25-35, 250-3000, and 7x57, but I'll shoot factory ammo if it has a bullet weight and style that I like and is accurate in my rifles.
