    Lol! She'd probably tell me that I'm being paranoid, that she's not going anywhere, and if I want to mess with those heavy, smelly, old cans that I can get my ass home and dig in them myself.

    When I'm not close enough to home to do the job myself, I roll hot with more than enough to deal with stuff.

    Hell, I'm a grown-ass man, admittedly one with a seeming inability to develop pectoral muscles despite multiple years of wright training trying, and *I* struggle moving 800 as a unit! A "Fat Fifty" full of loaded PMags in each hand, on the other hand...

    LOL, I'm with you! Besides, my wife would not even be able to read or tell them apart, even if I had them labeled.

    You need to FOCUS now, not when something bad is happening.

    1) Pick one GO load that is reasonably accurate in your rifles.

    2) Avoid hard to find loads unless you can afford to buy large quantities when it’s available.

    2) Zero your rifles with it.

    3) Shoot enough to confirm it functions in your rifles.

    4) SHTF is no time to be jamming mags. Have a combat load of magazines already loaded for each rifle.

    I never really understood this part, where are you coming from and going to?

    I would be calling to say SHTF I'm on my way home arm yourself and the kids while I'm on the way. Leaving in a SHTF would be make us a bigger target for potshot amateurs on their turf during transit. Home turf is more secure, we know it like no-one else.

    Think natural disaster or some event that you HAVE TO LEAVE your house.

    Got it, but if an announced natural disaster (Storm, Dam Break, Volcano, Earthquake, etc) was causing me think about leaving my house, the scale of the disaster would preclude going anywhere better in a car. Sorry too hypothetical for me, we'd all be dead in this type of scenario anyway.
