I realize that some of you knowledgeable guys are into firearms so much that you probably sprinkle gunpowder on your Wheaties in the morning, and have for a long time. But for others like me, it takes a while to aquire knowledge about ammunition, different cartridges, types of powder, grains of this and that, etc. especially when firearms aren't necessarily a hobby. It's turning into that for me, but it hasn't been in the past. Been around guns a long time. Just never really been infatuated enough to devour all and any firearms info available, like some.
So the answer to my question may be quite obvious to you. It still escapes me though, even after asking a number of seemingly knowledgeable people.
The best SHTF rifle would be one which has ammo that's usable by my handguns. But there's a third catch: I want to hunt deer too. That leaves only the .357 mag (in the state of Indiana)
I'm a Sig Sauer man and can convert one of my Sigs to .357 Mag, hence the reason I'm not too interested in 44 mag.
Here's the question: Why are there no AR's and such chambered in .357 mag? I don't want to be a freakin' cowboy with a lever action. I would think an AR chambered in .357 mag would be popular with the hunting crowd. Not sure if it's a matter of that particular cartridge defeating the purpose and design of the AR or what. But I'm noticing a big gap in the rifle world right now. What gives?
