I've not seen HST in Alberta or I would have bought some, but some good hollow-point ammo that you might be able to find would be Winchester PDX-1 at Bass Pro in Moncton. I'm assuming they get it because the Bass Pro here does, though its intermittent when it shows up in stock and I'm sure the shelves will have been cleaned of the best stuff already once or thrice. If you play whack-a-mole with the websites of CGN vendors you might find some good hollow point 9mm when they post freshly-stocked inventory, but I'd not be too picky considering the current market demand. I'm wondering how much ammo will even be crossing the border soon? The difference between PDX1 and HST is not significant, though I'd give the HST a slight edge. When you really get down to it, the better one of the two is the one that's actually available though. Having some always beats having none.
