Don't I wish. I went into a Wal*Mart SuperCenter this past Wednesday and much to my amazement, I saw six 100-round boxes of .45 target ammo on the shelf. No hollow points, though. I bought two of them. But still: no 9mm, no .223/5.56mm, no .270 rifle. I'm glad I stocked up last year.

Well, don't just stand there.
Wally World here has had mostly empty shelves for months. The odd box of .357 Sig, .17 rimfire, .22 short. Anything I want, no. The do seem to be able to keep stock on .223 though.
I prefer that “target ammo” to Hydro-shock HPs for defense. The .45 Fed HPs use a supper light bullet to get velocity so the slug will mushroom but they are not as accurate at longer ranges and if they raise the jam possibility they ain’t worth it.
A FMJ regular slug slaps hard and smashes bone. My combat load is a 200 grain Lyman mold SWC from Montana Bullet Works pushed by 5.7 grains of Dupont SR7625. They punch the target really well out at 100 yards and the unjacketed lead slaps harder initially.
