Any good source for .357 mag and .38 spc ?

[Alon]

I'm planning on getting my first revolver and I couldn't find any .357 mag and .38 spc ammo locally. Where do you get yours from?
Or do you mostly reload this type of ammo?

 

[Teac]

reload. also for cost

I was at G4C recently and they only had 38 Special premium defensive rounds.

Canada's Gun Store (one of our sponsors) has 38 Special standard rounds in stock:

Al Flaherty's has 20+ boxes of Winchester 38 special currently in stock:

Solely Outdoors has some 38 Special in stock:

I reload both.
Substantial savings with the 357.

have to admit that i reload with components scrounged in the good times so cheaper than 9mm factory rounds.

Commercial reloads are the way to go , if you can find some, Reloading 38 sp is quite reasonable, or use to be .
Don't worry to much about 357m till you practice with cheaper 38sp. is my suggestion.

Thank you all for the good info.

I'm in the same boat as you. My range has (had...) .38 special. I ordered 2 boxes of .357 from RDSC and a local CGN member was kind enough to reach out and sell me a box from his inventory so I could make noise big big last weekend
.357 is almost impossible to find.

It's ridiculous, everyone has 9 and 40 by the boatload, would be nice if they ordered every now and then a box or 2 of 357mag. Discrimination I tell ya.

Try this website to track some down: https://arsenalforce.ca/

If you can track some down, 38sp especially, tends to be the cheap winchester crap.. I swear they mix their powder with charcoal or something, the crap is so dirty the entire tip of the gun, inside and out gets covered in thick soot after just a few rounds.
Try find 357mag Fiocchi if you can, used to be plenty, impossible now, after a box of 50 only the crown would be a bit dirty, stuff is super clean.
