Bulk is the way to go. I buy cases of 8 lb jugs of powder and 10-20k primers at a time. Of course I shoot 8k+ rounds every year.

“Federal law says you have to be at least 18 years old to buy ammunition for long guns, like rifles and shotguns, and if you want to buy bullets for handguns, you have to be at least 21.”

I remember walking into the hardware store on Court Square in my small town, and buying .22 shorts for my rifle at 13 years old. No questions asked.

Can’t wait for the F-15 versions. Joe says I need those to protect my family against the govt.

Only problem I see with this is they want biometric data before purchase

The machines make you scan your a driver’s license.

Who knew one grandma had such a collection - AR-15s, AR-10s, AKs, shotguns, 9mm, 10mm, .22, .38, .45, even .50 cal?

I hit a dirty look from some girly cashier, one time.

She was just upset because you unintentionally reminded her that both she and her soyboy boyfriend need to start dating other men.

If you're on a budget (or just a really good shooter).

Let’s see how quickly a database is created of persons who are buying bullets for their guns. It will be followed up with queries regarding legal ownership or licensed status.

They also have a camera and match your face to the license picture.

With ID and bank info they turn off your money, your car, your credit and your ability to travel until they have your weapons “cache”.

It makes a lot of sense. What if you’re in a shootout - a proper shootout - and your backup mag runs dry? The bad guy has run out too, so you meet him at the vending machine and bitch about how expensive ammo is in general, slam your purchases back in, give him a high five, and declare Time In. Civilization has returned!

A camera could be fooled with a printout of grandma’s face.
