Pretty much. The 270win is the most available in ammo and components in my location followed by 308win and in the distance is 30-06. A person needs one of these no matter what is chosen just for logistics purposes IMO.

Or two.

I used to be laser-focused on the 30-06 because of this idea. Then I stumbled into a shop that only had one box of 30-06 ammo--and it was FMJ. I added a 308 to the stable very shortly thereafter.
