Keep in mind this is a press release from the vendor who won the contract. All this means if that they have been awarded a contract that might result in selling up to 450 million rounds over the next 5 years to the .gov at the negotiated contract price. ATK releases this kind of information for public relations and investor purposes. Notice the paragraph long disclaimer at the end.
It would be interesting to see how many rounds are actually delivered. It will likely be substantially less. Saying "the gov just purchased 450 milliion rounds of ammo" is pretty misleading.
