No. 106
While a black powder weapon is a good idea, *in fact, flintlocks are not a bad thing to consider, powder, stone, a ball, and a rag, all of which CAN be made if you have the right materials*
When I talk about commonly used amo, I'm more going from a "There's a massive war, people everywhere are killing each other with guns" scenario, where your trying to survive after world war three, and what's available are the leftover military ammo supplies. Being familiar with the firearms that shoot those bullets before the war, could save your life afterwards.
Really, don't LIMIT yourself. If you can't or do not desire to keep a large supply of assorted guns on hand, at the very least train with those belonging to others. Learn how to strip and repair common hand guns and riffles, how to load them quickly, and how different rounds behave differently.
The end of the world might not come with a war on your doorstep. But knowing how to survive if it does, is just as important as knowing how to grow food and hunt.
Also, caps from primers? I didn't know you could do that without destroying the primer. They seem a bit sensitive.
