[QUOTE="tknuts103, post: 2272541, member: 119653"] I agree with you that all of these cartridges could be hard to find. Definitely a risk I took while buying the rifle. My plan was to start reloading the 6.8 but my gun shot 3 types of factory ammo so well I decided to just go with factory. I now have enough ammo to last me many years of not only hunting but also target shooting. Although with my hunting rifles, I usually sight them in and then just practice 100 or so rounds before each hunting trip. I will probably get bored of the rifle long before I need more ammo. The problem I see I could end up having is resale when I do want to get rid of it. If the cartridge doesn't catch on, unfortunately I will be rebarreling my rifle instead of selling it. I guess around where I live, people think the 6.8 western is the latest and greatest thing. The guy at Cabelas told me they are constantly special ordering these rifles and scheels sells them out the second they come in. The crazy part to me is that I know people that already have large caliber rifles that are buying new rifles just to shoot this cartridge. If I had a bigger caliber to begin with, I wouldn't have bought this rifle but since I didn't have one I figured I would jump on the bandwagon and give it a shot. [/QUOTE]
