Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately our SKU#3556 9mm 124gr FMJ-FP Bullet in the 100 count box has been discontinued. We suggest that you might look for SKU#35567B 9mm 124gr FMJ-FP Bullet in the 2900 count box.
Thank you again.

I am wondering if there is enough interest in a 'group buy' for the 2900 count box...
Item Number 35567B
Ballistic Coefficient (G1) .160
Sectional Density .141
Quantity 2,900/Case
Price: $360.33
That works out to roughly $12.50 for 100 bullets...
You can still find odd lots of the 3556 bullets on GB, but not with any regularity...And the big dealers show the 2900 box as Out Of Stock...  |

Well, at least they didn't quit making them altogether, as this must be one of their all time best sellers, but the MBAs, you know, they know better, ha!!
I already have several thousand of these, as I would, typically, order by the 500 quantity box.
I don't know how much or how often you shoot, but I'd surely get them while you can, and in large quantities!!!
Here is a really great alternative for you. It's made by ZERO Bullets (a much smaller company):
ZERO 9 mm 125 grain Jacketed Hollow Point-Conical, #136
This bullet has a full one calliber bearing surface, and when loaded to a 28.8 mm O.A.L., in the 9mm Luger Pistol, fuctions perfectly!! This bullet also looks quite a bit like the original DWM TC bullet, nice.
They are not cheap, but they are less expensive than the Hornady line.
Try some, as they are also highly accurate and are still available in "normal" quantities.

PS:
Here is a one holer load with the aforementioned bullet:
WW Commercial Brass
Remington 1 1/2 Primers
O.A.L. 28.8mm
Powder Charge 5.1 grains of Power Pistol
With this load, my byf 41 will shoot three shot groups, all to one hole, to point of aim at 25 yards, all day long (once 9 targets in a row). Enjoy!!
