Where is the best place to get cheap ammo for the range for my 44 magnum?

Not sure of your location but Georgia Arms sells quality reloads and "new" loads at many gun shows in the south. They have the best prices I have seen at around $50 for 100 wadcutters.

They also have a website but when shipping costs are added it might become cost prohibitive.

Buy 100 pieces of brass, a "C"press, a set of dies, and a Lee hand primer, a thousand pieces of cast lead, a thousand primers and a pound of 2400.

That'll keep you in ammo for a while and potentially from now on. And if you don't hot-rod the loads you should get several loadings out of the initial brass purchase.

Then again, you could just buy white box rounds and send me the once fired brass.:D

i buy 95% of my ammo from Ga Arms.
 
Re-load. 15 cents a round if you purchase already cast bullets.

AWESOME hobby.
 
I just got into reloading for this exact reason. Around here the cheapest I can buy ammo from any store is steel-cased Blazers for $29 per 50. After the initial investment on your equipment, the actual reloading consumables are extremely cheap. For instance, primers are $3 per 100, lead semi-wadcuters are $60 per 500 and a pound of powder is $21. That's 7000 grains and each round is 15 grains. So now if I look at loading 100 rounds I'm at .16c a round! And that's buying my consumables from Scheels and not looking around for better prices at gun shows or online deals.
 
WWB at Wally World for the new stuff(I found it cleaner than UMC,) then save your brass and get a press & dies.
 
Reloading is the only way to go. I haven't bought any commercial center-fire handgun or rifle ammo in 25 years. I'm beginning to think I can't reload shotgun as cheap as I can buy it, just paid $35 a bag for #8 shot! Even with 1 oz. loads that's nearly $2.25 for just lead a box all components about 4.06 per box of 25. Still saving about .75 to 1.00 a box. Of course my time is worth nothing.
