The Border Patrol is just one of many armed agencies in DHS and they use nearly 20 million rounds a year just in basic qualification. Yeah, I thought they could only fire bean bags...
Seriously, I've read that they are buying hollow points, is that the type of ammo used to qualify?
Damn expensive way to practice...

Yes hollow points are used. Officers must qualify with what they will use in the field.

Hollow points aren’t much more expensive. OTOH, the frangible-bullet rounds are another matter....
