I and my wife go through a thousand rounds in a year or two. And I know people who do many times more than that. Those people usually do their own loads.
However, I buy inexpensive rounds for the range, not ultra high extra performance ultimate penetration (or whatever these rounds are).
Gosh, I’ve never heard of the government wasting money before.
unfortunately, the feds don’t use FMJ rounds for training, like most local agencies. FMJ rounds tend to be a bit cheaper.
The feds use the same ammo for duty use and for training, hollow points. As if anyone can tell the difference.
