Not sarcastic at all..
You suggested buying .223..my rifles are chambered in 5.56, So I simply responded , good idea, but I'll buy what i shoot...
Yes I know you can shoot .223 in a rifle chambered in .223... I dont....for reasons other than the topic of this thread..
Nor do I shoot .38 in my .357 revolvers... I know you can, I dont.

Thanks for the suggestion though, if I had not know it would been an important piece of info..

The information states they ask for ID if you purchase a large quantity of ammo for what they think is an "assault weapon" style gun. Go back and purchase 10 boxes of .223 and then let us know what happens.

OK, well I dont own a .223... but I can try with 5.56.. Can always use another 200~500 rds of that in the gun room.

Fair enough, but it wasn't I that suggested buying .223 and I don't know if NTexCopRetired even knew whether or not you had anything chambered in .223/5.56 or your preferences for one over the other.

I get most of my standard ammo calibers from wally world. The odd stuff I can find at BassPro for a decent price most of the time. Occasionally, I'll have to order something from an online place, but that's mostly because I can't find it in a store at all. BassPro's prices on target/plinking .45 or .223 just doesn't compare to wally world's prices for the same box of ammo. It's hard to when WW purchases so much and can get good bulk prices.
