266. That's just part of the market.

Imports range from new manufacture, to old cases of 7.62x54R dug up from under some demolished apartment building in the Ukraine.

Then there's the handloading markets using milsurp brass, plus milsurp complete ammo, which wasn't included in production figures because it was made years prior. (Military contracts aren't included in the 10-12bn rounds number) Certainly many trillions have been produced worldwide.

Including smaller rimfire ammo, like .22's, I have in excess of 30k rounds in my home. I burn through it pretty slow.

Now, say I was a shady bastard, and registered ammo was introduced. I wouldn't use what I have, and would practice with only registered new ammo. (It would also create black market for ammo)

We can't even keep people from carrying around the wrong kind of vegetation in their pockets, I can't think of a way to make this work.
