This is easily solved and is referred to in the article that troutman linked to. Simply exempt any bullets sold by gun ranges from the tax, and have laws in place to ensure that they're not removed from the range. Cheap bullets, as long as you use them before you leave (or keep them secured in your locker at the range).
You could even use some portion of the revenue raised by the bullet tax to subsidize the use of gun ranges, and provide free firearms safety training, to get more gun enthusiasts on side.
