Just as a point of clarification in case any of you are wondering:

A round, unless it's a shotgun round or sabot round, contains a few parts: The bullet (slug), the casing, the primer, and the powder. Well, you can't ID the powder, and primer IDing won't do you any good. Likewise, brass IDing is useless unless the spent brass are laying around after firing for investigators to sweep up.

That leaves the bullet. And you can cast bullets out of lead at home like making cookies, so there's no enforcement there. The only way I see this being enforceable is if the bullet manufacturers imprint the IDing in the rounds they sell (you can get just the slugs by themselves, or you can buy preloaded bullets, as most people do).
