[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1872075, member: 24428"] From the Blaze This is a long article.. so I'm only posting the first part.. read the rest at the link below ------------------------- [B]Social Security Administration Requests Massive Amounts of .357 Ammo But Why?[/B] Posted on August 15, 2012 at 1:55pm by Jason Howerton [B]First the Department of Homeland Security ordered 450 million rounds of ammunition, then the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) submitted an order for 46,000 rounds of high powered ammo, and [U]now Business Insider reports that the Social Security Administration is asking to purchase 174,000 rounds of .357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point bullets[/U].[/B] This type of ammunition is arguably one of the more powerful available. R.K. Campbell at Gun Blast describes his experience with the .357 ammo: I observed the effect of the .357 Magnum 125 grain JHP once over the top of my own sights. The effect was gruesome. A solid hit that produced a severe blood flow AND dramatic effect from the rear, including lung tissue thrown perhaps three feet. The purchase request from SSA was discovered at FBO.gov. What the agency plans on doing with these bullets is still unclear at this point, but the move has set the internet ablaze with speculation.
