I reload and cast my own bullets, A box of 50 costs about $4.00. You do have to spend some time casting and reloading but I consider this part of the game of shooting.Joe S. said:

Re: 100 rd boxes Remington 38spl
Dont think ive ever seen a 250 ct box of .38 Joe. If you want cheap .38, im going to cabelas in baton rouge in a few weeks when im down there for my birthday. Last time i got 50ct boxes jacketed solid points for $11.99. Dont know if it will be that cheap again but i can look.

I have a S&W K38 6". It has been fired 80,000-100,000 times. I have never fired jacketed ammo in it. It still is the most accurate .38 revolver I have ever owned. Some people worry about leading in a pistol barrel. It is not that hard to remove lead but it is expensive to replace a barrel.
Google search for Mastercraft and shoot cheaper and extend the life of your revolver barrel.

The Mastercraft Corporation sells lead bulleted reloads for around $7.50 per box for the .38 Special. This is with you sending them your brass to be reloaded. I would suggest a buy of at least 500 rounds at a time. I do not like jacketed ammunition for revolvers. The jacketed ammunition will wear out a barrel in a revolver in about 5,000-6,000 rounds. Also, a soft pointed jacketed bullet can frame cut the top strap of the revolver. When the flat base of the copper jacketed bullet passes the cylinder gap the escaping gas can cut the topstrap of the frame right above the back of the barrel.Joe S. said:I don't reload/ cast, so I have to rely on factory offerings. And since the 100 rd boxes are scarce these days I was relieved to find these.
Was looking for the 250 rd boxes but no luck.

100,000 @ .15 per shot ($7.50/50) is $15,000 and I am betting you shoot pleanty of other rounds!
99% of the rounds through my gun have been lead only. I am considering those fancy copper plated types .. any thoughts? (the reason being to reduce lead "exposure" when I shoot at surplus city range)
I have heard about the Gassing and strap being cut into. I figure using target loads (instead of 1500 FPS stuff) keeps that low about as much as lead only. Lead fouling is a problem I have.. so how do you clean up??? I am hoping this Deatons will help.

I haven't looked at the cost on 38spl but Precision Delta here in Mississippi has had some decent prices on ammo in the past. They have both new and reloaded ammo. You might take a look at them just to see how they stack up. It's www.precisiondelta.com.
