Default Magtech Component Bullets

I'm beginning to think Magtech is getting out of the bullet selling business. I used to buy their BU38A 158gr LRN from both Midway and Cabelas, but neither has them any longer. Midway lists them as discontinued which disturbs me. Can anyone comment on this issue?

Luckily there are at least 50 other alternatives for quality lead bullets, most likely at a lower price than you were paying for Magtech bullets.

Yes. Easily.

I have a 10-yard, 10-shot group about that size with .38. It's pasted to one of my range boxes. And a 1", 10-shot 25-yard group shot with a .44 Magnum. Both offhand.
