Federal HST ammo

[Great-Kazoo]

there's other ammo out there that will do the same job, if called upon for work.

It looks to me more like a restriction on box size to maintain a higher sales price. Its a marketing/pricing gimmick, not a restriction on the round itself.

Hornady does that as well with the XTP's, correct? Seems like you have to get over 1000ct before pricing starts getting economical, but haven't been able to find those in greater than 100ct anywhere....

Something weird is going on. l read this and went online to see if I could get some Winchester Ranger T and was required to submit proof that I was LE. I've bought plenty of this ammo prior without needing to be a LEO. I do see that other another distributor selling the same stuff without the LEO requirement. Is there a push to cut us off from LE ammo? The other thing I noted is this ammo is not widely available and priced higher than a cats ass.

^^^ THIS
The LE duty ammo in 50 round boxes (for near .50cents/round depending on caliber) is essentially the same ammo as "personal defense" ammo in 20 round boxes (for >$1/round)

As above, it's that they repackage the same ammo and want y'all to pay more for it than LEO.

Sounds like a decent side gig for LEO if it's strictly enforced... I've bought Ranger T-series from an LEO that sells online before.
