Large quantiy ammunition buying is super economical, it’s fairly common to see groups of shooting enthusiasts all go in on a pallet of ammo and distribute the ammo amongst themselves. Buying that much alone is a bit strange, but depending on how often you shoot you can go through a loooot of amunition quicker than you realize. Not millions of rounds, but I wouldn’t think twice of someone with a few thousand rounds.
Any guess as to what a million rounds would go for if you bought em at once?
I wouldn’t know, but a pallet of 9mm is only 100k rounds, larger calibers would be less ammo per pallet and that 9mm pallet goes for 20-25k. If you bough them all at once im not sure how much more discounted it would be. Id expect not all his ammo is the same caliber so at most has probably buying 3-5 pallets at a time depending on caliber. Maybe they throw him a thousand bucks back per order? Thats just me guessing on not much though, shippings gonna be a removed and that may be where you can secure the discounts since you’re emptying so much space and weight in one spot.
