It's probably worth pointing out that every single round they sequestered was shotgun load, or a hollow-point round, the latter of which you never use for practice shooting.

Your point about the 9mm load being phased out is spot on.

Doesn't that logic kind of imply that they don't have the rounds they need for training the the moment?

It's my (potentially incorrect) understanding that this is 52k rounds in addition to normal supplies they receive.

Either way, I don't pretend to know what this means, it was just a rather interesting bit of news.
