I ordered some yesterday. I Didn’t see the rebate on HST. I might have to order more if it’s only $15 a box.

[Grey]

Nice deal... I still have a case of 147s, I don't need more, I don't need more...

[CCT125US]

Is that rebate on the 50rd boxes as well, or just the 20rd??

Looks like just the pretty plastic 20 round personl defense boxes:

My understanding is the LE marked boxes aren't part of the rebate.
Still, that pretty good price, and happy I have no mortgage, 2500 rounds later.

That's what caught my eye, and made me question. Also no link to the rebate on the 50rd boxes. So.... I live chatted and screen capped the response that it would be valid.

[hufnagel]

so... it is or it isn't valid on the 50ct boxes?
even if it's not, $0.462/rnd for P9HST1,2,3 and P45HST1,2 flavors is pretty damn good pricing IMHO.
that's after taxes for me btw.

The promo states "personal defense", and the 50rd boxes are marked "tactical"....

[RevolverRob]

Someone reported in the ammo deals thread getting rebates back from Federal for 50-round boxes. It’s probably worth it even if you don’t get it.

I’ve got 5-boxes of 147 and 5 of 230-grain +P in my cart for later today.

[Doug MacRay]

The rebate is applicable to any HST boxes, unless something has changed. I know people who have received rebates on both 20rd .38+p HST and the 50rd boxes of .45. I'm currently waiting on rebates for a few cases of 50rd boxes. Stack 'em deep boys and girls, it's pretty unlikely to see HST at this price ever again.

[CCT125US]

Did anyone else notice the price on the 147 HST jumped from $39.99 to $59.99? Had some in my cart, added to it, and the price jumped. Emptied cart, added again and stock showed depleted with 3 available. Ended up bailing on the 147 and went with 124+p instead.

Which ever one of you MF'ers bought all the 147-grain HST - I am not a fan of you right now.

Now I'm faced with a decision - buy 500 rounds of 124-grain HST or say fuck it. I'm kind of leaning towards fuck it.

I wanted some .45, but they only have it in the 20-round boxes, the 50-round is +P which I have no interest in.

:mad:

Being apparently the only one here with a limited ammo budget, I ordered two boxes of 124-grain +P, plus a 100 round box of Armscor .45 hardball just to try. That gives me 300 rounds of carry ammo for the 9x19s, not including the two full mags each for the PX4s and CZ-75s. The rest of the budget goes to hardball and reloading supplies.

[RevolverRob]

So it was you, huh? ;)

Eh, I'm mostly just grumpy because now I had to decide if it's worth it to buy half a case of 124-grain and subsequently buy a couple of cases of 124-grain FMJ. Which, judging from the price of 124-grain, it actually isn't.

Over the last four years I've burnt up most of my 115 and 124 ball and pretty much all of my 124/127 JHP at this point I'm basically all 147-grain at this point.

Not me. I've not purchased ammo recently.

[Default.mp3]

Mildly OT, but I am fairly annoyed at the newer production Federal HST 147 gr, as it has a noticeable change change in POI compared to Lawman 147 gr and my old batches of HST 147 gr; at 25 yards, zeroed with Lawman/old HST, the new HST is impacting in the 9 ring of a B-8 at 1030. Has anyone else observed this?

I haven’t, but all of my HST is probably “old” in that I think I last bought some ~15’ish months ago.

I did notice accuracy changes with the 147 AE that no longer has the cannelure. I also noticed it’s dirtier shooting. Not as bad as Remington UMC 147, but not what it once was.

Have you chrono’ed it?

I really thought “old” HST was running at 950. But now I’n seeing 1000-1050 as reported numbers. Meanwhile AE and Lawman are reporting in a little low at 920-950. Neither of those is a recipe for matching like the old combo did.

[hufnagel]

glad I bought a case of the 147 then.

[Hi-Point Aficionado]

Dang, was going to get some more 180 grain .40 today. Decided instead to spend the budget slush on a cpuple movies for next month's annual horror fest, a new space tarp for the day pack, and a Skinner rear for my son's Henry lever-action twenty-two. My sense of timing continues to suck.

The 147 gr. HST (https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-hst-law-enforcement-9mm-luger-ammo-147-grain-jacketed-hollow-point-p9hst2-p-3547.aspx) is back in stock but back to normal prices. ($39.99/50).

In longer barrels maybe they get that speed but typical 3.5-4" both are under 1000fps...and within 30-40fps of each other.

I've been using 150gr HST micro for carry rounds since they have gamer recoil, are available everywhere, get best penetration among the HST line, hit top of HD front sight post as it should be. 900fps in 4" barrels.

The 147 gr. HST (https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-hst-law-enforcement-9mm-luger-ammo-147-grain-jacketed-hollow-point-p9hst2-p-3547.aspx) is back in stock but back to normal prices. ($39.99/50).

All of them are normal price now...

I do not consider $40 for a 50 round box of 9mm HST normal.

Mass Ammo (https://www.massammo.com/product/federal-9mm-147gr-hst-500-round-can-flat-rate-shipping/) has 9x19 147-grain HST in stock for $22.50/box of 50.

That is comparable to what I paid for the last several cases I purchased.

Damn that is cheaper than sgammo at $29.95. Where I just ordered some fairly ah recently. :( Thanks for the link though, for next time.

[BehindBlueI's]

Last day to buy and qualify for the rebate.

[hufnagel]

15 days left to submit, in case anyone hasn't done it yet. (like me. because i'm a dumbass.)

You're not the only procrastinator. I've been putting off unboxing and photographing all of the individual box UPC's. I'll have around $200 coming back to me though, so I'll buck up eventually.

[hufnagel]

? I just photograph the master case. never had a problem with that ever.

You don't have to photo them individually. I did a "group shot" and was approved.

Good to know, this will save me some time. Thanks all.

[Gater]

Pleasantly surprised to get the rebate in the mail today. Thanks to all for flagging.

So, now that I have $50, 200rds of .380, and nothing chambered for it...

Lurk on GB for a P250 .380. Fifteen round mags will make the stash disappear.

Received my rebate yesterday, spent it on more ammo. #winning (https://pistol-forum.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=winning)
