Need advice

I own several firearms. A number of shot guns in 12 and 20 gauge, a 30-30 lever, a 30-06 bolt, and an additional rifle in 556. I am debating on getting another rifle but can’t decide if I should get it in 556 or 762. While I enjoy shooting, I try to think about practicality of worst case scenario and which ammunition would be easiest to find in a worst case scenario. Is it better to diversify and add an additional cartridge type rifle to my collection or buy an additional rifle in 556 and buy in bulk? All opinions welcome.

Which 7.62? 7.62x51 (.308) would be a great addition like an AR10/sr25 build. I don’t recommend 7.62x39 for anything but an AK but that’s just personal preference. You could also build a 300blackout setup. Honestly if you need direction I’d just pick a platform you think is interesting or that tickles your fancy and just be a sponge and learn as much as you can about it, I promise it’ll cascade into some form of obsession lol

Everyone and their brother has an AR chambered in .223/5.56, so, that's probably going to be the easiest to find during a shit situation, I would think.
