Maybe the crowd you run in uses calibers like that but that is not where the market is or ever will be. You are correct in assuming you need to stock when you can as they will be both hard to find and expensive down the road.
I would not be worried about .30/30 cases. There may be a short term lack of supply in your area, but that should not last. A search on Ammoseek shows it available from multiple sources.
