Federal HST is no longer available to sporting goods stores. They are now marketed to law enforcement only. We don't know why Federal made this decision. If your department is looking for some HST please contact a law enforcement distributor.
In case it's true, better buy whatever you can find.
That dealer is based in Massachusetts, so what may be true for them could be completely different in non-Commie states.

1)Treat firearms as if they are loaded. 2)Point the muzzle away from non-targets.
3)Keep fingers off the trigger until ready to shoot. 4)Be sure of your target and backstop.

OK is there anyone who is willing to split 500 rounds?

If you can't find someone to split 1000 with ya, here it is in 500:

That's a little higher in price (+10 cents per round) (.49 at SGammo and .59 here) and they are in Texas, so you also gotta pay the tax & shipping. But just another option for ya.

You could also call SGammo and ask for a price on 500. You would save the tax that way too as they are in OK.

I don't think you need 500 rounds of SD ammo. Why not split a 500 with someone and you should have all the SD ammo you need for quite awhile.........unless you are going to bad parts of town quite often! :smilelol5:

And, if the world really does come to an end within the next 4 years........we won't need no stinking HP ammo......FMJ will do just fine! :eek6 :txflag:
