Taking advantage of the fact Wal-Mart ain't selling pistol ammunition so there's less bulk box Remington hollow points out there to compete with?

Glad to see Federal out there in the shit fighting for bottom rung on a ladder with a bunch of bottom rungs.
I wish federal would just make a 124gr '9BPLE' type load.
Just a well engineered, cup n core JHP, loaded to full SAAMI +P spec of 38,500psi (which is the pressure of the "+p+" 9BPLE.) Goal is an actual 1200-1225fps from a G19.
9BPLE is regularly $16/50, $300/1000. A 124gr version at the same prices would be most welcome.
RMR has been making such a bullet for around 1-2 years now. At 9.6 cents per JHP vs 8.2 cents per FMJ, its clear that major manufacturers can make reliable hollowpoints for barely more cost then fmj. There's really no reason why we shouldn't be seeing more $300/1000 JHP loads on the market, given that 9mm 124gr FMJ is $200/1000.
124gr RMR vs 124gr Gold dots, both loaded to the same velocity (1225fps) over 5.8gr BE86:
As it stands, I don't see the appeal of a 'budget' 20rd box of JHP's that have a price of $0.75 per round
Street prices for 147 at targetsports are 16.99 for HST and 14.99* for Punch. I suppose some will shop on price? (Not me.)
*Admittedly, their initial offer price, though it's not yet available at that price. We'll see if it actually stocks at that price.

Pics in this page look EXACTLY like HST to me. Cannelure included.

Not bonded?
That would shave a few pennies per round and not really be a factor without barriers to go through first.

Yeah that's like Buffalo Bore hot. Maybe it's a typo. Here that load is shown as 124 grain. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/...munition-line/
