Anyone know anywhere that may stock these, googled the usual suspects but nothing showing online.

Thought I'd check on here before I get the phone out tomorrow

And when they enact the Crime and Policing Act, these will stay s5 as they're a pistol bullet...

This quote is off their web site

'Hornady FMJ bullets are built with a rugged AMP® bullet jacket (Advanced Manufacturing Process) that clearly delivers better performance. The thin-plated full metal jacket offered by other manufacturers is easily distorted and often breaks or separates when the bullet impacts the target. The Hornady AMP bullet jacket features virtually zero tolerance for concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation, punching through targets without deforming or breaking'

I'd say they're not expanding! IMHO

The #3100 code bullet is NOT, however, an FMJ....so zero relevance.
Better off with a kosher .32ACP pistol bullet, or similar.30-Mauser/Luger bullet....OR....get a mold & cast them. Way cheaper option.

Hornady's website goes on to say that they are a HAP bullet:

http://www.hornady.com/store/HAP-Hornady-Action-Pistol

Which looks to be a Hollow Point.

The bullet in the round in the photo is different than that which should come out of the box Stock number #3100 according to the Hornady website.

Wouldn't 30 carbine bullets work in lieu?
