The Social Security Administration claims that this is for their Special Agents, of which they have just under 300, and that .40 cal jacketed hollow point is standard issue for special agents of several agencies, not just theirs.
I'm a little concerned about 300 Special Agents of the Social Security Administration, but, assuming that's correct, that's 500 rounds per each, which isn't unreasonable.
I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on the "target shooting" claim: if .40 cal hollow point has unique ballistics, then it makes sense to practice with the real load, so you know how to aim when it's for real.
The claim about it being standard issue should be easy enough to check.
