Just on this forum we have folks buying upwards of 5000 bullets at a time for reloading. I think my last combined order of 9mm, 38, and .45 was around 8000. We have folks ordering over twice that amount and twice as often.Jumping Frog wrote:Another aspect to remember is that huge volumes of ammo are sold via mail order and over the internet.
That would get shut down by an NICS requirement.
For those of you would might think even for a millisecond, "when I don't buy over the internet", the competition that arises from a national market in ammunition is why your local gun store needs to remain competitive.

Re: Would anybody support a NCIC check for buying ammo?
I go through a brick of .22 a week for Bullseye practice, not to mention the .45. If I were a better shot maybe I could cut back.Lodge2004 wrote:Exactly. Someone who participates in IDPA or other action sports can easily go through several hundred rounds per month. If you shoot one or more matches each week, you will consume 500+ rds per month. In Houston there are IDPA type matches almost 7 days per week somewhere in the metro area. Many people hit several per week.lrb111 wrote:I see plenty wrong with it. Some folks buy ammo by the case and shoot it hundreds of rounds at a time. Just cause it's fun. We don't need to go on a terrorist watch list because of it.
