Good luck with that. 357 and 38 seem to be harder to find than 9mm, 45 acp, 5.56, or 308.I purchased the gun yesterday and I am looking for ammo still today. I refuse to pay 99 dollars for 50 rounds or even more for 357. Range report as soon as I find ammo.
That's why I am now reloading I got lucky and picked up 400 brand new Hornady 38 Special cases, 700 Hornady 125 grn XTP bullets, a 500 count box of Xtreme 125 grn plated bullets, a pound of Unique, 2 LBS of Power Pistol, and have accrued 1600 small pistol primers over the course of the last month and a half (the primers were costly, $185.00 for a 1000 ct brick). Also was able to find 38 Spl dies, a Lee Hand Press, a beam scale, a Digital powder scale, and a Hornady powder trickler as well as a Lee loading manual. Brass cleaning is done with water, Dawn, salt, & vinegar in an old half gallon tea jug. The upfront equipment costs were kind of high but will amortize pretty quickly at current ammo prices for factory rounds. Bullets and powder show up from time to time.at decent prices but primers are problematic. Now if I can just find a GP100 Match Champion once I get the credit cards paid down...I purchased the gun yesterday and I am looking for ammo still today. I refuse to pay 99 dollars for 50 rounds or even more for 357. Range report as soon as I find ammo.
Yow!...the primers were costly, $185.00 for a 1000 ct brick...
I have been looking for 357 for months with no luck.I purchased the gun yesterday and I am looking for ammo still today. I refuse to pay 99 dollars for 50 rounds or even more for 357. Range report as soon as I find ammo.
A 3" stainless Speed Six is my grail gun..... anybody????I've had several Speed and Security Six's. Now just one, ugly, and it looks like it had a bad life tumbling around somewhere for a long time. Sure shoots good still.
