Where are all the .38s?

[MikeZ65]

Boy, I've been trying high and low to get some reasonable bulk ammo from around here, around the internet, anywhere! The .38s are just gone for some reason.

Anyone having better luck at some secret website they can let me know about?

Thanks,

Mike

The only thing that I see a good bit of is .25's. I also see some .9mm, and .40s&w. 38's..357,.45acp, they are gone.

Mike, Sports Authority had bulk 38s yesterday.

or....bulk load yourself...50 rounds of 38 for $5.00....way less than that if you cast your own bullets.....just a thought

 

[Hunt200]

Or mastercast.net, with a LEO discount you can get DEWC with your brass for about $5.50 per 50.

About this time last year I bought up several thousand once-fired .38 Special cases. I have powder, primers, and lead bullets dating back to the Clinton scare. I got started loading some earlier this week. I'm doing it with a Lee hand press and a c-clamped-to-the-table cheap Lee Reloader press, so it is slow. My goal is to load about 500 a week for a month or two, while shooting maybe 100-150 per week.

Hoarding is good.

Red,

I feel so sorry for you.

If you have a good workbench, just so happens I have a an extra, vintage reloading press that I'd be willing to let your borrow. It's a 2nd. generation C-H progressive "straight line" press.

It will only load .38's- not .357's. But you can turn out a bunch of them at once, and all bullet styles. Even has a gravity case feed! Talk about advanced for it's time!

Only problem is...it might be a while before I could get it to you. I can only use one press at a time- I suppose some people use two- I'll get there.

It's not a Star or a Dillon, but it gets the job done.

I thought you were talking about revolvers, can't find a used K frame around here to save your life.

 

[biggs357]

Dick's sporting goods has .38's and .357's both.I just got back from walmart and bought another 3 boxes of blazer brass 180grain .40 cal for 11.87 a box.I did the same thing yesterday and ended up with 5 boxes of the same.I was saying another thread that i must be the only one shooting around my neck of the woods.The only thing missing was the .380,.38/.357 and 223.

I bought and shot about 4,000 rounds of 9mm from Maine Cartridge Co. It worked great, mostly in an MP-5 and an UZI. Hope this helps you.

I've noticed the same thing. And the few used ones that show up seem to have gone tremendously in price. I think/hope that people have rediscovered their usefulness as house guns.

That's the first place I've seen that "Seems" to have 9mm ball ammo "In Stock" at what might be a reasonable Retail price. I say "Seems" because I didn't go through the whole ordering process. I've seemed more than one place lets you go through the whole process and then doesn't have what you want "In Stock" or if they do have it, it isn't in the same amount as what you want. I couldn't buy it for that price and use my normal mark-up and still be able to sell it. One of the Major draw backs to being a small Shop is the fact that I can't normally make a Buck on things like this because I can't buy it cheap enough to sell at this kind of a price.

 

[Landpimp]

just call them, almost never show what they have on the web site. they are just down in Tacoma/Ponders/Ft Lewis area behind Tactial Tailor

my local HK Mil/LE dealer had to go there to buy ammo for his shop, only place that has 50rd boxes of HP ammo(which is what the LE wants) he just marked them up $1 a box

It's a thought.

The Dick's around here don't stock .38s, even though it's listed in the circular as being on sale (Rem UMC, which would be fine by me!). I shoot primarily 9mm, which they always sell out of WAY fast, 45s, which I can always seem to get, .38s which are nowhere to be found, and 357s, which I can get occasionally enough to stock up on.

I've been thinking about reloading. I'm a little scared of doing it, but I hear it's pretty easy. I know there's an initial startup cost, but after that, 50 rounds for $5? I've gotta get in on that.

Of course if they start with the ammo stamping and all of that becomes illegal I'll be more than angry for a bunch of reasons...
