38 s&w

seems to be a harder round to find then even the 32. acp hopefuly with all these new revolvers there will be more demand for the 38 s&w
 
There are very few manufactures making them unfortunately. I see plenty in the U.S for $$ but nothing north of the border. If powder were easier to come by it would be less of an issue!
 
If anyone wants 25 rounds free of charge just PM me and tell me how to ship live ammo.

I've had these kicking around for years after an old H&R revolver I inherited was confiscated for destruction when I tried to register it.

I even put these on the EE a few years back... No serious takers.

Open offer to anyone, just need to know how to send live ammo.
 
the last new production I have bought was Remington, but that was some time ago. Over the years I have found a box here and there at gun shows. Reloading is the best bet long term.
 
Lack of 38 S&W availability is why I considered one of those Enfield revolvers and then decided to pass. It's too bad because they are interesting guns.
 
A LGS told me last week that they had a case in some months ago, but one guy came in and when he found out they had it, he bought it all!! So I ordered some and they said if they can get it, it would be spring! Sounds bad but really if we all order from our LGS or any of our sponsors, the companies that do make it, will realize there is demand and just maybe put it higher on the production list!
Right now, with us just talking about it here, does not really get back to the manufacturer! So, put in an order and lets see what happens! I also think the sponsors who sell these cool guns,( mine is a Webley) have some resposibility to try and access ammo for them!
I personally want around 500 rounds or more, will shoot them and then reload with the 200 graIn pills they were originally intended to fire!

Same here , I'd love to own one and for 300$ really ... It's still hard to pass up on a little piece of novelty. Everyone needs a webley or enfield in 38 s&w or .455. I still think the Brits should of kept the .455 instead of converting to the 38s&w
 
I love my old Enfield. I don't however like shooting it. Not that its not enjoyable but it is so darn hard to find ammo. I made some on a buddies press that shot a few off. Great bit of fun.
 
Won an auction on a colt .38 s&w. The calibre designation kept the bidding down, so I went and bought .38 s&w rounds at 40$/ a box at a dealer I'm not sure who is on this forum or not located in Vernon BC. Turns out the revolver was actually a .38 special! Bonus!!! Cheap easy to find rounds on a low bid auction win!
 
I bought Lebaron's last box a week ago, for my Tanker. $100 per round! Any takers?

Lol. I'm sure you'll all find a box eventually ;)
 
Howard2 and Colin are right: reloading is your answer, gentlemen.

I reload .38 for my S&W Victory model. It costs me about 15 cents/rd. or $7.50 for a box of 50. Others can do it for far less if they cast their own bullets, and I salute them, but I'd rather buy them ready-made.

It's not difficult, it's not expensive, I find it relaxing, enjoyable, and a good hobby for the winter.



ps to Colin: looking forward to your post, as I currently use W231, but I have recently bought my first bottle of Trailboss, and I love the simplicity of it's min/max load calculations! Can't wait to try it out.
 
Hi, quick update.

Rounds have been claimed. For what it's worth they are remington round nose.

Best of luck at finding some this side of the border.
