Email said the manufacturers are tightening LE ammo sales.
Now with BF you have to be a registered customer with LE/Security credentials on file.

Lucky for me that I already have a bunch stacked up and won't really need any until about 2040.

That is a huge bummer.

Yes. That sucks.

Once again us common folk are deemed unworthy.

Kind of brings back some bitter feelings of the magazine restriction days. No standard capacity mags for you unless you are a cop.

Who the hell is getting harmed by someone buying a 50rd box of ammo anyway? Are they going to ban selling bulk packs of practice ammo to us beggars next

More about Big Box Stores selling for $1.00 each. Profit, not restriction.

Streichers still has the 50 rd boxes of HST for $21.99. Was on back order two weeks ago, but my order has already shipped within two weeks of order time. They have 147 grain in stock as of right now... AND they ship free over $100 too.

Bubba - Thanks Sir for the link and info....Right now they have free shipping on orders over $49 so I just picked me up four more boxes of the 147gr HST.....Great pricing when you include the free shipping....Thanks Again...Mark

Good deal, but SOL as they dont deal with CT.

The mfg do this from time to time when there is a run on ammo.

I'm almost out of inventory and checking Winchester warehouse for Ranger ammo shows just a tiny bit of shotgun ammo and some Ranger target ammo.

There's also a rebate on HST.

As I understand it, the ammo is for LEO, and therefore a very low tax rate was applied, or maybe none at all, but that was something the Mfg did as a 'favor' to LE, but the distributors were never supposed to sell it to non-LEO/Mil. Something happened, and they began to crack down on the regs with the distributors, and now we have to pay the higher taxed rate, which is about a dollar per round, and buy those lame 20 round boxes.
I'm glad I bought another 700r of 50r/HST while it's available.

Check out SGAMMO.com Good folks out of OK, have ordered from them many times. Depending on cal have lots of premium HP stuff in stock.

I recently took advantage of some great prices at Lawmen’s (all their ammo was the “LE Duty” 59 round boxes). Non-LE could buy any of the Federal, Speer or Remington, but they did restrict Hornady and Winchester. I’d assume those two brands may be more closely monitoring sales.

I'll second using SGammo.com; I order from them often, they always have a good stock of every caliber I need, good prices, and they ship fast.

There are other sources.
