You can also try The Hunting Shack. http://www.thehuntingshack.com/catalog/ ... index.html

I looked at the Cabelas ammo web pages, and I think you can do a lot better than that. I usually order most of my ammo from Georgia Arms, but The Hunting Shack has some good prices on .357 Mag. Natchez also tends to have good prices for ammo, particularly .223. I also buy 7.7 x 58 mm JAP ammo from Graf and Sons, and from Cabelas.

Surprised nobody has pointed this out yet, but man, if you want "bulk" quantities, you need to reload.

How about .357 Mag rounds for $4/box of 50? That bulk priced good enough for you?

We know that, but when somebody wants to buy, they want to buy. :wink:

It makes less sense now with the price of ammo as hig as it is, but back when I could get bulk at $12-$15/50 (vs 20-25) I bought my first 2000 rounds of reloading brass pre-loaded with SJSP... :wink:

I may be able to get set up this summer for reloading. Not sure how it's going to go. Just read an article in the PA Game News from April about the basics of beginning to reload. Plus, I've been nudged by some of you folks a few times. Right now, time is hard to spare. I'm way behind with stuff at work, behind with stuff at home, and I'm about 20% of the way into building a sizable model train layout in what was my dining room, so I've got my projects cut out for me. Ammo can be made (i.e. reloaded) or it can be bought. The cost of buying it is the cost of paying someone else to load it for me (i.e. factory ammo), and right now that is a cost that makes a lot of sense for me to be paying. Brass is piling up in my basement, and maybe someday I will re-load some of it, but what the reloaders have to understand is that reloading safely takes time (even with a progressive press) and I do not have the time for everything I want to do or need to do.

Time is the factor left out of the $4/box figure.
I saved my brass for a long time, and only now have a reload setup. Haven't worked through all that brass yet. I hear ya...

Best would be if you knew somebody local who could reload for you, and then you'd be keepin' it in the fambly, so to speak, as well as getting the load recipe that works for your guns.
Then, when you're ready to start up, they can teach you the hobby.

Anybody out there close to you? Maybe on one of the reloading forums?

And, when do we get to see pics of the kyewl train setup??? 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Keep saving that brass, then sell it. Someone is ALWAYS looking for .357 brass. Occassionally, you'll find someone looking for .38's but it's rare. When you do sell it, use those funds to buy a Dillon 550. The Square deal model B is pretty good,(it's what I use) but only good for pistol rounds.
I can load 3-500 rounds in an evening, without being in any particular hurry. I just bolted it to an old end table and set it up next to my recliner. I guess that's what my wife get for complaining about me spending too much time out in the garage, reloading.
Now, she bitches about waking up at 3 a.m. to the sound of the press!
