Federal HST is considered by many as the best performing defense bullet made, with superior expansion and penetration - and 50rd boxes of 147gr or 124gr HST an HST+P are in stock at $49.95 each!

A buck per round huh? And this is at J&G?
That’s crazy. Guess I’ll add them to my shame list. Right under cheaper than dirt.Correct, Target Sports has been selling it for $40 a box for a while which I thought was pretty high until I saw the J&G price.
HST might be a good defensive round, but put in the right spot FMJ will do the job at a fifth of the price.
I haven't looked at ammo prices or availability since before this whole pandemic started. Last time I bought some HST I think I paid either $23.99 or $24.99/box. Sometimes I would find it on sale for as low as $18.99/box. I think I'm sitting on at least 400 rounds plus what I have loaded in a few magazines.
HST at $18.99 retail for a 50 round box OTD does not sound right.
Sorry, didn't catch the mention of 50 round boxes. I was referring to 20 round boxes that I purchased in the past. Still about $1/round.
Brain or brain stem are hard shots under extreme stress. I will take a Hard Pass on carrying a pistol loaded with FMJ ammunition and would not advise anyone to do so.
That’s the commercial stuff.
LE boxes are 50 rounds and contrary to popular belief, LE boxes can be sold to the public.
Federal released a letter/statement a while back saying that the $30/box was for LE only and that they were supposed to sell it for $40/box to regular folks.
Huh... I knew that the LE ammo could be sold to the public but didn't know that they came in 50 round boxes marked for LE. I've never seen them packaged that way before. Thanks for the education.
