    HST/GD 50R LEO Only

    I noticed today that Bone Frog Gun Club will no longer sell 50 round boxes of HST or GD to civilians...kind of....if you fill out a form, you apply to be a “qualified customer”, and if approved, a non-LEO can purchase it. Is his some kind of screen process?
    I’ve bought some from them in the past, but it’s been about a year ago. They say that Federal & Speer are pushing this, and distributors are expected to follow it. Thing is, they are the only one I’ve seen that’s doing this. Is this something that will spread, or will it fizzle out? I’ve always bought my carry ammo in 50r boxes as it’s the only affordable way. The prices on the 20r boxes are ridiculous!

    Does anyone have any inside info on this?

    I bought HSTs from them two weeks ago, no issues...

    My chosen load is, among other things, not available in commercial packaging so...

    Very interesting. Checked:

    On the 50rd 124+P GDHP, either out of stock, or almost double in price. Strange.

    ETA: Just placed an order without issue. I don't recall ever ordering from Bone Frog previously, and did not login or create an account. Looking at the wording it states: "Available for purchase by LE and Qualified Customers". Notice how it does not say "only"?

    Ordered out of need, not panic BTW.

    Something going on with prices going up quite a bit.
    Just checked SGAMMO and their 50 round boxes of 124+P HST and Gold Dot have risen to $30 each plus shipping and they now have the smaller boxes as well.

    Interesting. Glad I have enough for the foreseeable future. Somebody must know something we don't? Any industry insiders around?

    I not iced the price of 147 HST went fron low $20 range to $30 in the past few weeks.

    Meanwhile the price of practice ammo continues to fall.

    Got to make a profit somehow?

    For grins, filled up my cart with the stuff I have been buying last few years from Target Sports, Bonefrog, and SG Ammo, and everything Federal/Speer has gone up 50% except the .357 Sig stuff....yes, ATK has had some sort of price increase or enforced some sort of rule on non-LE agency sales.

    $600 for a thousand rounds is steep.

    I want to say the last time I purchased a thousand rounds of HST (standard pressure) it was somewhere between $350 and $400 including the shipping. (GD in standard or +P was slightly less iirc, but in the ballpark.)

    My local gun shop had six boxes of 50 round HST 147 grain marked factory seconds for 11.00/box. I bought all six and still have some left.

    I use it for testing carry pistols to prevent shooting up the factory firsts that I have. Glad I bought those when I did.
