Alternate calibers? .17HMR, etc. Can't beat 'em, join 'em?
While perusing the local WalMart ammo case on my weekly run, in addition to seeing the typical empty holes where my favorite ammo used to reside (.45, .223, .40, .38, .308), I noticed bucket-loads of other ammo, some with dust/cobwebs on it (.17HMR, .22-250, 7mm, .30-30, etc.). This got me thinking...are there any other "common" guns (pistols/rifles) worthy of having that use these alternative calibers?
Why stress over finding .223 if I can find an AR-15 that shoots something else?
I know Savage used to make a nice .17HMR bolt-action. Any disadvantages to using this ammo?
What about handgun calibers? The only handgun ammo I saw in abundance (besides .22) was .44mag.
