| Gun Reports - News Gun Reports Home >> News Now I wonder just what are they going to do with that sum of ammo? You dont have to be a rocket scientist or an equivelant to figure this one out. ATK Gets 450-Million-Round Federal Contract for 40-Cal Ammo; Will Consumer Supplies/Pricing Be Affected? March 27, 2012 (GunReports.com) — Earlier this month, ATK announced that it is being awarded a 450-million-round contract to produce 40-caliber cartridges for the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement is for 40-caliber ammunition loaded with ATK’s HST bullet. GunReports.com sponsor CheaperThanDirt.com sells Federal .40 S&W ammo with the HST bullet (No. XM40HC). Federal Ammunition is a subsidiary of ATK. The HST XM40HC load has a 180-grain jacketed hollowpoint bullet. Bullet velocity at the muzzle is 1015 fps, developing muzzle energy of 410 ft/lbs. Customer reviews on the CTD site are very positive about the load. Reviewer “Dragunfire03” wrote on 3/19/2012: “This is my carry ammo in my Glock 22. I usually just shoot target ammo when I go to the range, but I took a box of these along one trip and came home and ordered 2 cases. This stuff shot cleaner and more accurately than my target ammo, and only for a dollar and a half more a box. Needless to say, I'll be buying again ” Many online commenters are worried about what the government’s order quantity will do to 40 S&W availability and pricing. The load is currently on backorder at CTD. Here’s the link to check on availability: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

| I guess you are right. When you cant influence the masses you have to revert to violence to secure your authority. | |
