If saving money was the objective, we'll need an explanation of why the purchase was for hollow point rounds, which are much more expensive than the FMJ's normally used for training.

I understand the Feds train with their carry ammo.

Another instance of government waste.

While qualifications must be done with carry rounds and some exercises are best done with that ammo, there's no need to use the expensive stuff for everything when a fairly close equivalent (in terms of recoil and point of impact in relation to point of aim) FMJ round is available.
