.357 ammo?

You might check out one of our sponsors , SFRC. I've had good luck finding affordable ammo from them, especially when they run specials.

Who doesn't?

Rethius I am looking for some .357 as well so if you find a good source let me know. If you are getting a bulk order I may be interested in taking a portion of what your order to help mitigate shipping costs (I am in Calgary too). Send me a PM if you go that route and we can discuss.
 
Roll your own it's alot cheaper . I'm talking about ammo . 9mm well okay but not 45 or 357. as in 9mm is'nt too bad to buy but 45 or 357 well it's expensive.
 
If you shoot lots........reload!
You not only benefit from the cost savings, but you can also tailor the load to your specifications, whether you want a full power house load or a milder load to shoot indoors.
 
Took me 15yrs to start reloading, I was such a moron not too. Hardest part of reloading is setting up your dies the first time (which is not hard), after that its a breeze. People get into trouble when not following the load directions or rushing.

Seriously if you own a 357mag you need to start reloading :)

I can't speak for Rethius, but in my first six months with this baby I shot over 750 rounds of .357mag:

Haven't seen any bulk 357 or 38 deals. The price for both as steadily increased the past couple years. Would be wise to save brass and start reloading

I'll be reloading mine now but bought a 500 lot from Tenda when they had a sale.

Factory ammo, not reman/reloads.

They have S&B 158 grain in stock now, 500 rounds for $340 (free shipping)

I did the same back in November: Tenda had a good deal on Sellier & Bellot 357 ($310) and 38 spl ($220), so I bought 500 of each.
I keep an eye on their offers since then, and I noticed that their sales are usually good. It should be only a matter or patience till they come with another one.

I don't shoot that much to justify reloading.... yet.
 
Have a few different .357 shooters. I agree with the reloading advice and just need to get on board. Maybe just intimidated by learning how to get started.

The cost of reloading 357 is almost the same as reloading 38 and 357 is more fun [has a bit more kick to it]. Once you start reloading 357 your not gonna go back to 38. Last year I used almost 1500 rounds. I have four 357 guns, so it goes fast.
 
Unless you got a ton of money to spend on ammo, or your time is worth a lot more, reloading is the only way to shoot larger quanities of 357 magnum or any caliber for that matter.

Factory 38 spl is not cheap either. Well, no ammo is cheap anymore, IMO. Even the lowly .22LR has almost doubled in the last 5 years.

I see guys at the range shoot 2 and usually more boxes of factory centerfire pistol and I cringe. All that cash going up in smoke (of course we all love the smell of burnt powder:cool:) I've always thought spending that much on factory ammo was not fair to the wife, and frankly I don't enjoy shooting when I know there is a cheaper alternative. so I started reloading in 1989. Casting in 2008.

It all depends on your wallet, time priorities, amount of skill and patience, willingness to engage in a related but an entirely different hobby (reloading and or casting) and sense of values.
