I stop in my local Fin-Feather-Fur outlet for some bullets and primers. They have an endcap on one aisle that has assorted Federal Seconds marked down. I noticed a label, Federal Ammunition Expanding FMJ.
I take it these were only produced for a few years. They are the 40 S&W 165 gr. which I gather were more for LE. IIRC, 135 gr. ones were for the civilian population. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info out there on these. Has anybody here had experience with them? Were they a total flop? From what I read, they were marketed for places and agencies that were not allowed JHPs.
I bought a box, as they were mark at $13.99. Thinking about going back for a few more after work.
