The Traders do NOT sell 7.62mm HP ammo. At all. Ever. Soooo, I looked in the traders.xml file, and found :
<trader_item_group name="ammo">
<item name="ammo9mmBulletBall" count="40,150"/>
<item name="ammo9mmBulletAP" count="40,150"/>
<item name="ammo762mmBulletBall" count="20,100"/>
<item name="ammo762mmBulletAP" count="20,100"/>
<item name="ammo44MagnumBulletBall" count="15,60" prob="0.5"/>
<item name="ammo44MagnumBulletAP" count="15,60" prob="0.5"/>
<item name="ammoShotgunShell" count="15,100"/>
<item name="ammoShotgunSlug" count="6,25" prob="0.2"/>
<item name="ammoRocketHE" count="1,4"/>
<item name="ammoRocketFrag" count="1,4"/>
<item name="ammoArrowIron" count="20,60"/>
<item name="ammoArrowSteelAP" count="20,60"/>
<item name="ammoCrossbowBoltIron" count="20,60"/>
<item name="ammoCrossbowBoltSteelAP" count="20,60"/>
</trader_item_group>
There is no line for <item name="ammo762mmBulletHP" count="20,100"/> anywhere in the trader.xml, so the 7.62 hollow point ammo will never appear in their inventory.
If this is intentional on the part of TFP, that's fine, but if it was just something missed in the jumble, then here's a chance to correct that.
I've already done a mod for my game to put it in the mix of trader ammo.
