Best 357 mag and 38 special ammo - The Firearms Forum

oldtool53 · 10-09-2008, 08:10 PM

Hi Folks,

I took my Ruger security six 357 mag and my Rohm 38 special to the range yesterday for the first time. These guns are from a family estate and are new to me. I fired a box of ammo through each one. My question. What is the best brand or load for target shooting at the range for the best price.
I want to fire these some more without breaking the bank.

Unfortunately, the days of cheap ammo appear to be over. Your best bet would be buying in bulk. This is 5 boxes for 13 bucks each, plus shipping. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=882272 This is six boxes, for 15 bucks each (plus shipping), but it comes with a dry box that they say is worth another 15 bucks, so that would reduce the ammo price 2.50 a box, bringing it down to 12.50. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...837&hasJS=true

This stuff is also 15 bucks, but they pay shipping. http://www.grafs.com/product/194150
