All anyone is telling you is that if you impose that limit on yourself, there's no rational basis for it.

It's akin to looking for a new vehicle and not getting what you want because the local one-horse car dealership doesn't have it on the showroom floor.

You came here asking for advice, and you got it.


Thanks Smokepole. That's the point I was trying to make.

To the OP. My intention was not to piss you off about ammo advice. My analogy of the knife sheath was to point out that you like quality things,and like the idea of a quality rifle. You might want to shoot quality ammo,rather than whatever is available locally,so chances are you will either roll your own or order anyway, but you have it figured out ,so carry on.
