Today I was surprised to find an advertisement from Federal in my personal email inbox. Here's the link they sent:

LOL. I dunno how Vista got my personal email address. Too bad they weren't offering up any personal defense ammo.
Mebbe 'cause I live in the Tennessee woods they think I need some defendin' against squirrels and 'possums 'n such.

Yeah, I think pressure for chains like REI specifically is why they are running around and tightening up on anything firearms related, and why they are selling Savage and Stevens.Originally Posted by blues
Well, you can always join REI.
I know it won’t make anyone less justifiably upset but Vista is offering a rebate on Federal brand defensive ammo including HST and Hydrashok Deep: https://promotions.vistaoutdoor.com/...ome/Brand/1069
Buy two boxes of ammo and get $5 back. If you can snag a case, that’s $50.

Drat- guess I bought mine 6 days too soon (purchase must be in Nov). On the bright side, I did get mine at a good price before it sold out...
I saw the rebate but wasn't sure it would apply to 50 round boxes as it seems to apply to the Personal Defense branded HST. The 50 round boxes are branded Law Enforcement Ammunition.
Perhaps I'm over thinking this but it seems aimed at the 20 round boxes discussed earlier in the thread.

I didn’t even think of that. That’s lame if true. Might be worth an email to Vista to verify.

Thanks for the info the other day on www.massammo.com as I was able to get some 9mm & .45 acp HST.
Federal may be dicks about ammo, but RCBS just shipped me die parts (that I broke) on the house. I'm not giving up Alliant powder because they're capitalists.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
FYI, I just ordered 700r of 124/HST from these guys @ $24.95/50r box, which is the same price I had paid at SG Ammo in the past. I've ordered from them before, they are another family owned business, and I've had good, reliable service from them. I placed the order on Wed night, 7th, and got it yesterday, vis UPS. They still show 6 cases left, and a good bit of individual boxes. Aside from Bone Frog, this is the best price I've seen on HST, since I started this thread. I just wanted to share the find at OL.

Still note sure if it applies to HST LE boxes -But right now, Target Sports USA only shows rebates for the 20-round boxes. Still, if one was okay with 124-grain Hydrashok (instead of HST). The price from Target Sports is $13/box, which works out to 39.5¢ per round after the rebate, which isn't a bad price for a premium JHP. I might snag 200 rounds just to use in the 9mm AR.Cash redemption value is 1/100 of 1 cent. Maximum rebate limited to $5 per qualifying box purchase. Minimum of 2 boxes must be purchased to qualify. Redemption limited to ten (10) boxes or $50 per household.
