If you go buy .22 bullets at WM (as least around here), the ask you if
it's for a rifle or a pistol. If you say "rifle" they ask if you're
over 18. If you say "pistol" they ask if you are over 21. It doesn't
make any sense, esp. when you consider that the state doesn't restrict
the purchase of bullets.

But the feds do. You must be 21 to buy pistol ammo.

The store can choose to believe you or not if you say you are going to
shoot it in a rifle.
