Any opinions on this ammo.

50rds - 9mm Federal LE Hi-Shok 115gr. Hollow Point Ammo - 9BP

This stuff was pretty good years ago and at 15.95 per 50 seems like it would make good TSHTF ammo.

ebterp,

The Federal 9BP (Basic Police) 115 Gr. JHP is a standard pressure round. It's also extremely effective. Considered "old technology" by some it's still performing it's job on a daily basis...and delivering the goods.
The one shooting with this load I know about was a double tap used on a knife wielding perp.
Results? Perp dropped immediately and was declared DRT (dead right there).
I wouldn't hesitate to carry the round and the price is excellent.

Thanks for the info Wes - appreciate it.

ebterb,

MAH Supplies has Federal 9mm 115 gr +P+ (9BPLE) for $15.00 a box. It's the same load, but at 1,300 FPS vice the standard pressure's 1,19O FPS. That's a screaming deal. I shoot a limited amount of +P+,but not a huge amount.
The Winchester Ranger LE 127 gr. +P+ is $22.21 per box.
Both good deals. Let's face it good defensive 9mm ammo for a $150.00 a case is very good. Some places are charging $15.00 a box for generic ball ammo. Shipping is probably another $25.00 or so...

Hope this helps.
