Thanks for having me here at KAC, folks. Gotta question for all you experienced bargain ammo buyers.
I'm about to start a fairly rigorous, twice a week, marksmanship training routine that's going to require a whole bunch of .38 Special FMJ rounds. Cheaper than Dirt has Winchester white box 130 grain for $36 per 100 count. Does anyone know of a better deal than that? All in all, this course will quickly burn 1500 rounds spent downrange, and I'm a bit strapped for cash, so saving a few pennies per shot will add up fast.
I'd prefer American made, but if anyone knows of a decent quality supplier overseas, I would still give it a try.
(Lead round nose is no good for this project. Indoor range, controlled conditions, I don't want to smoke out the neighboring lane. It's gotta be jacketed.)
Thanks in advance,
~ Keith

Aim has both Aguila .38 sjhp for around $12.95 a box of 50 ($26/100) or Prvi Partizan FMJ for the same price. The Aguila is made in Mexico but it is brass cased, fully reloadable and good clean ammunition. I have shot a few thousand various rounds from aguila .22/.223/9mm etc with no issues

Re: Bulk .38 Special
Thanks, Coach, it's kind of you to say that. Have you gotten the gear we talked about yet? How about the manuals?
On a side note: Marcus, did you pick up that brass? Hunting season is fast approaching & I need some lead time to work on that stuff.

Re: Bulk .38 Special
I've been hearing a Dick's Sporting Goods commercial where they have their ammo on sale for buy one, get one half price. I don't get a chance to shop there so don't have an idea of their prices but it may be worth a look.
