Then he said any other answer and we would not sell it to you .

SO if you had said you were going to use it in your black powder Rifle they would have refused the sale?
If you said you were going to use it in your replica black powder cannon, they would have refused the sale?
If you wanted it as a Priming powder for flintlock, they would have refused the sale?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. You are aware that you can shoot .223 in your 5.56, right?

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.

Its never a bad day for me to buy ammo, and I have enough different calibers there is always a good deal on one or another. I'll go to the Killeen Academy tomorrow after class and buy a few hundred rounds of something and see what's up.
