re: #140 Dark_Falcon

Many shops give a discount if you buy in bulk, so that it’s cheaper per round if you buy in large quantities. 1000 rounds is usually a point where a price break kicks in, so thousand round purchases are not unusual.

Also relevant is that with an AR-15 or AK type semi-auto you can go through 150-200 rounds during a target shooting session. So buying the ammo for such a rifle in 1000 round lots often makes sense.

Target shooting? It’s not target shooting if you have to test yourself with 200 rounds. Might as well save money and blindfold yourself and light some firecrackers at your feet while jumping around with a toy weapon.
