From Business Insider - by Robert Johnson  - First the DHS needed 450 million rounds of ammunition, then the NOAA requested 46,000 rounds, now we've discovered an online request at FBO.Gov calling for 174,000 rounds of ammunition for the Social Security Administration.  The request actually calls for 174K .357 hollow points that arguably have as much stopping power as any bullet out there, and hollow points do as much damage to soft tissue as possible on top of that. R.K. Campbel at Gun Blast mentions his experience with .357 rounds: I observed the effect of the .357 Magnum 125 grain JHP once over the top of my own sights. The effect was gruesome.
