Go to Walmart and try to buy some .22LR (if you can find some...another issue , though).
The clerk will ask you "Is this for a Rifle or Pistol"?
If you answer "Pistol" you leave with NO ammo.
If you answer "Rifle" you show your ID, pay the money , and go home with a box of ammo.

I don't know what comes up on the register if you ask for .357 ammo.
If it is still "Rifle of Pistol" and the clerk is not knowledgeable, you can probably leave Walmart with ammo if you answer "Rifle"
...but I don't know if by lying whether you have committed a crime or not. (Again, "J"...a little help here, please ?)
There are a few companies that make 38/357, 45 AND 9mm carbines, lever and bolt action long guns. All you do is tell them it's for a long gun / rifle IF asked. Nothing more or less. If the clerk will not sell it, ask for manager or walk away, locate another store.
