There are military shooting teams, which could account for some of the odd ammo (like the 28 gauge). Others may have been purchased by FBI, DoD, etc for ballistics testing and longevity testing. Some of the round counts were fairly small.

Really with Alex Jonesing this up? All of these are small amounts, and easily to explain. Shooting teams, practice, ballistics testing, armor testing, shooting engine blocks (Beowulf, as 458 socom has been unobtanium in ttsx's for that reason) are the ones I thought of in about 15 seconds.

There's really no conspiracy about the ammo. Theres only fear mongers and uninformed about indefinate delivery/quantity contracts vs the informed.
