Feds recently ordered 1.5 billion rounds for all departments.
That may not be “all the ammo” but it is a pretty good chunk.
Back in April or so of last year it was reported that DHS was buying up some 750 million or so 40 cal hollow points. Now, if true, those bullets were not for target practice.
My experience with Gov contracting is that a company on the contractor list bids on the contract. The idea that Walmart and not the ammo manufacturer is selling the Gov ammo is very unusual. As stated,I bought 45 caliber ACP ammo last week. I admit they were low on stock, but; Saturday is when new ammo comes in here. At least that has been my expeience.
Now, hollow points in 40 cal for DHS? Unreal.
