Where the heck is all the .44 special ammo?

Try LAX ammo in Los Angeles, they usually have thier factory ammo for really good prices. But they are out right now. But they will have some soon enough. It is where I get mine and my .41.
 
If you have a LGS you deal with, Jerry's Sport Center has a bunch in stock.

When I bought my 629-6 a few months ago I bought 100 rd of 44 Spl and 250 of 44 Mag from LAX when they had free shipping. Now I'm just about out of 44 Spl. They had free shipping again and I tried to order 200 rd, but they only had 100 left, and that disappeared during checkout. So I ordered another 250 rd can of 44 mag at $119.99. Not bad. Their 44 mag is on the light side at just over 1000 FPS. Enough to give you the "magnum experience" but noticeably softer than standard range ammo. I also got some HSM 44 spl from Cabela's. Very smoky stuff, like shooting black powder. I've seen some people claim that's intentional, for the "old west" effect. But I wouldn't buy it again, not for my indoor range. The LAX ammo is good clean stuff.

Thank you for the tip on LAX. I actually bought some .44 spa from them today wth NO problems. Can you imagine shipping ammo from California to NYS with no problems? LOL!
 
I can recall purchasing .44 Special only one time, although I have been shooting that caliber for about 40 years. Last time I noticed .44 Special on a dealer's shelf the price was over $40 for a 50-round box.

Being a long-time handloader and bullet caster I know that I can produce .44 Special ammo for about $6 to $7 per box, so that is what I continue to do.
 
.44 special

Actually, .44 special can run anywhere from about $23 to $39 per box. It's finding it in stock that's the problem.:D
 
rock chucker

like mentioned before, just call starline, get some 2400 powder, a rock chucker, a carbide die set and never worry about it.
 
.44 special

I haven`t looked for .44 ammo for awhile. Target Sports USA might have some in bulk. Get reloading. Especially for revolver ammo.
