Interesting . . . . on the other hand I don't buy much in stores - too expensive in Jersey.
So maybe I missed it.
Still makes me uncomfortable.

HUH???the premise of the discussion is flawed as previously observed
DITTO HUH?Also, I would NEVER buy "used" rounds. I'd buy new or if things get tighter, factory reloads.
BTW - I've never seen a box of "factory reloads". If it's loaded by the factory isn't it considered "new"?? If the ammunition is made from once-fired brass, isn't that a reload?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
I'm not talking a few thousand measly rounds. I'm talking about Stockpiles.
Do any of you dealers have a plan to inspect or certify the bulk stockpiles you'll be buying from individuals for resale?

Accordingly, I would expect a lot of these "stockpiles" accumulated out there recently to get dumped onto the local market when the owner moves.
hmm.I suppose ,when I'm dead,someone WILL have to figure all that out.
A friend has probably a typical stockpile - 30,000 rounds of handgun and .223/308 rounds. When he moved it fit into four milk crates. Right in the back of the suburban. Guns took up more space.
Well, we don't really know that, do we? If I bought a case of ammunition twenty-five years ago, and it sat right next to the furnace down cellar for twenty-five years, then spent three months under water during a flood which ruined the boxes, and I then reboxed that case into the empty boxes from another case I had shot, and sold the case to the gun store, it "wouldn't look any different than unopened cases" -- but it sure might function different. Don't dismiss this scenario out of hand, by the way; it happens.
Those must have been some special milk crates. In the Army 30,000 rounds of 308 fills up the back of a HMVV. One case of .223 (1200 rounds) is a little smaller than the size of a standard milk crate.
