how would the following round compare to other popular self defense rounds?
I have a chance to get 200 rounds of Federal LE Tactical HST 9mm 124 gr JHP +P rounds for $0.25/round. But the only experience I have had with any type of Federal ammo was their cheap American Eagle line for plinking and I was not very impressed. So I have a couple questions.
1) Those who use or have used this ammo for self defense - thoughts?... I know there are better options (Speer, Corbon, etc) out there, but for the price I'm getting I can't pass this up.
2) Would running 150 trouble free rounds through a gun be plenty to consider it a reliable cartridge, and saving the last 50 for defense? I always wondered how this worked when some of the rounds marketed for defense go for $1+ per round
