Despite the ominous sound of what they’re ordering so much hollow point ammo and obviously for possible use against at least some citizens (unruly or otherwise), what’s wrong with target range semi wadcutters if most of this is for ‘practice’ anyway? Much cheaper in bulk.

Some gun expert here is gonna now tell us why they have to use hollowpoints on a shooting range.....you know, temperature, wind, barometric pressure, all that stuff....well, then they might as well be hanging sides up beef up in the range so they can train with a lifelike target.

If the SSA is antyhing like DHS they have to certify with the same rounds they carry on duty. There are all kinds of liability issues for practicing with rounds that are different from normal duty carry. It is probably a violation of service policy to shoot anything other than the hollow points they are issued.
