In case any of my fellow dinosaurs need any, Mass Ammo still has 50 round boxes of 40 HST in 165- and 180-grain flavors and standard velocity 45 230-grain. $23/box.

Thanks for that @revchuck38
I like their flat rate shipping!

Just grabbed (6) 50 round boxes of GD 124 +p from sgammo.
No big mark up, and no LE requirement. They still sell the 20 round boxes but for more per round.
Granted this is what I was paying at the gun shows a couple years ago, but I was under the impression that all of this was going up or being reserved for LEO.
Maybe I shouldn't have jumped when I did.
You are completely missing the mark here. They sell the same ammunition to distributors/vendors at a discounted rate so they can in turn sell it to LE professionals for less. LE and non LE SKU's are different for this purpose. It's a contractual obligation to obtain credentials when selling LE SKU ammo. Anybody not obtaining creds is doing it wrong, and screwing over every LE, MIL, and First Responder who can't find the ammo in-stock at their local dealer. It's merely a matter of time before those who don't play by the rules are cut off, and most (if not all) ammunition companies will cut you off for both LE/MIL and commercially. The worst offenders aren't even typically LE/MIL vendors, but are buying it out the back door somewhere else, like Bone Frogs.
If you're offended by this, then you must be offended by every other discount you don't personally qualify for.
I did not realize we were experiencing a shortage where LE, MIL, and First Responders were unable to find ammo in-stock at their local dealer. I thought most LE, MIL, and First Responders were ISSUED duty ammunition.
Regarding Bone Frog, you might want to check out the attached link to their customer registration page which states qualifying credentials required.

Wolves don't kill the unlucky deer.
I’m issued ammo at work but I’m free to buy extras. My local LE dealer has been unable to get 147gr HST in the 50rd boxes in enough quantity to keep it on the shelf for months. In large part due to backdoor sales by other retailers, most of which are online

So, you don't own Glocks because they have a blue label program? Won't patronize restaurants that offer an LE discount? Do you feel the same way about veteran's and senior citizen discounts?
ETA: The above question is rhetorical in nature, and not a direct query expecting a reply.
