It seems whenever I'm at Walmart or Academy I cannot find any 357 magnum in 50 or 100pks, at best I'll find some overpriced 20pk of defensive ammo.
Anything in particular going on with 357, is everyone pretty much just using 38+p so there the stores don't stock as much 357 now? |

Right now 9mm and 223/5.56 are hot items. I never have trouble finding 357 at any of my LGS, however Walmart never has it, so I don't ever shop there. |

.357 magnum should be handloaded factory ammo is for wemenz who squat to pee I chronographed some Cor-bon 125gr JHPs that I bought a long time ago. They were significantly weaker than the handloads I was developing. The latter being the published starting loads. Had heard someone claim that manufacturers were wimping out on their ammo, but to see that in a brand that had a reputation for higher velocities was rather startling. |

You will also be amazed at how accurate your homeloads can be. I reload .38spl and .357mag for ~$0.11-$0.13/round depending on the bullet I choose. However, you will find that no matter how "cheap" you try and get into reloading, you will constantly be buying little accessories and upgrading your set-up. It is part of the fun. |
