*If no to that, then again while legal and I wouldn't stop him, I'd scratch my noggin at the sheer amount of that. How many years of shooting is 27,000 rounds? After all I had a Ruger target pistol that I ran about 40,000 rounds through over a 20 year period that pretty much just fell apart and has officially been retired to the old guns home.

Years?
Try months- or even weeks.
Ten/twelve years ago I shot my Ruger .22/45 two or three nights a week and on both Saturday and Sunday most of the time.
I'd go through between one and three bricks of ammo a week (1500 rounds)
My wife would go along with me and go through an average of a brick a week.
So, between the two of us, we ran through 2,000 rounds a week.
& that's a pretty conservative estimate.
We'd each buy 10 bricks when it went on sale @ both K-Mart and Dicks.
(They had a 10 brick limit.)
Our normal stock of what we'd keep on hand was usually around 50,000 rounds.
There wasn't any hoarding or anything sinister.
The normal price of a brick was around $10 or $11 and the sale price was a buck or two off the regular price.
All we were doing was taking advantage of a sale to pay a lower price.
P.S - the Ruger .22/45 I shot back then ran through over 100,000 rounds in a little over a year. Other than a tiny worn spot near the muzzle, you can't tell the gun is used.
It's far from "falling apart".
Not sure why your Ruger shot out at only 40,000???
