I enjoy shooting .38 special but have really cut back last couple years. Good luck finding any at a decent price. SGammo has PMC for $34 a box of 132 fmj. I doubt you would be able to find 158 lead round nose or SWC.

.38 Special plinking ammo was expensive, at least compared to 9mm, before COVID. These days, it’s outrageous. A couple revolver-shooting friends have long grumbled over prices.
I’ve seen Norma for about $23-$25/box recently. Good luck. |

Norma $25/50, free shipping with $49 order, and 5% off if you sign up for their newsletter first.
Works well for me and the flat tip fmj is much better than lrn if you need it for defense. $32/50 for hollowpoints. https://normashooting.com/shop/caliber/handgun/38-special/38-special-158-gr-fmj-norma-range-training/ |

Even reloaded at today's prices it doesn't seem cheap, about 20 CPR. What was new brass 38spl per round pre-panic? I only bought 9mm and 22 in bulk back then, and remember $180 delivered for 1K blazer brass 9mm and $23 bricks of CCI SV in 2019.

Been shooting a box of Privi Partizan 158gr SWC through a snubbie and it has got to be the dirtiest 38 ammo ever. Barrel leading is pretty awful. Not even a tornado brush is doing anything. I guess I'm going to have to go to the store and buy some Chore Boy pads.

I'm sure there were some $.30 a round deals but many times it was $.40 and up from what i remember. 357 is twice as bad most of the time. I've stockpiled a bunch of components becuase of it. |

Was a gut punch that adding a few boxes of range ammo added that much

Its pretty much always in stock and they removed the limits. I got 200 rounds of Rem UMC 230gr JHP 45AARP for .62cpr yesterday. Some 45LC Critical Defense too. |
