I don't like having too many different loads in too many calibres.

Our pistols are 9mm Parabellum, and we have two loads for them: Glaser Safety Slugs (Blue) while in the house, and PowRBalls for outside the house.

Our rifles all take the same ammo: 7.62x39. We have soft points and FMJ rounds. I buy them in sealed tins from Cheaper Than Dirt. Perfect for long-term storage.

You know, I just don't think I can kill a zombie with a .22

My reasons have nothing to do with subsistence living: I do not think it is a viable solution in a SHTF situation.
