What is the "SOBT" rule?

Re: Consolidating Calibers- Good Idea or Bad?

I kind of consolidated. All of my family has the same sidearm in the same caliber. I then "stockpiled" FMJ rounds. Every firearm has a magazine and at least a spare filled with SD ammo. The FMJ is used to practice and I try to follow the Shoot-One-Buy-Two principal. If I come across a deal then I'll grab what I can, SD or "practice".

I also outfitted my home, my married son's home, and my still-at-home son's future home with a high capacity rifle and a couple of cases of ammo again trying to follow the SOBT rule.

Did the same with .22 rifles.

After that I have a few of this and that.

So I guess my go-to arms are "standardized" then I have my others. I keep a box or three of ammo for each of my others but not a "stockpile".

I'm also trying to stock up on reloading supplies but I'm a long way from having what I need.
