Buy and carry something that you can walk into any small town and find the ammo (my personal choice would be 30-06)

A good cartridge choice but your reasoning for it does'nt make much sense if ammo availability in out of the way places is a real game changer. How many times does that really happen ? Not many would be my guess. Kinda like going on vacation to far away places and forgetting your wife at the airport, isn't it ?
