Found some 357 today at LGS. PPU brand JHP 158 gr for $36.99/box of 50. Not what I was looking for, not familiar with PPU, but get it when you see it. Picked up 3 boxes. They told me they may get some Hornandy 45 Colt next week and said they would set a couple boxes aside for me. Have not seen 45 Colt in a very long time.

Found some 38 Special +P online for $35 a box. Shipping was $17 for 2 boxes. So, I passed. Wanted to get some for wife to target practice with. She did fine with 38 Specials in my S&W 65. Wanted to give a try with S&W M360 and 38 Special +Ps. Due to the lite frame, that may be the sweet spot for her. I will probably see what my LGS has. Yet, I still will probably push for her to try 357s in the lite frame. For me, I can shoot 4-5 rounds, before I have to give my hand a break.

Starting to see some 38 spl. ammo, but no 357's.
Now the 45 colt, that's definitely haven't seen in a good while.
But I have a good amount of reloading supplies for both, ;)
Thank goodness. :D

I did see 38s and 357s at LGS today. But, no 38 +Ps. Lots of 9mm, some 327s, 22s and others that I did not pay much attention to. Have plenty of 38s and 357s, but not as many 38 +P as I would like. So, I will keep looking.

I am surprised that anyone had .327 ammo.

You just described my local Wally World almost exactly.
Been seeing those yellow Winchester 300 rounders for about three weeks. Unfortunately, even for WW, they are about $10.00 to $15.00 over priced compared to what I'm seeing the same thing online.
Have seen the 308's and 20 ga as well.

At Academy the other day they had a 200 rd bx of those Winchesters, I saw the price.
Then when I got closer I realized the box was smaller. :(
Made the price insignificant, and I don't recall. ;)

There were a few boxes, probably around 10 or so. I noticed them, because they were located close to the 38/357 section. I believe 45s were there also. Since I was looking for 38 +Ps, I paid little attention to the others. But, the shelves are getting full, just not with what I was looking for.

Picked up 2 bricks of Norma 40 gr lead round nose high velocity .22 LR for $60 each at Rural King this morning. They had these on sale and had been marked down $30/brick. Would not have considered them otherwise. Their ammo prices are not so great. They also had 32 cal for $49.99/50. :shock: Didn't get those.

I finally found what I was looking for at Midway. The price was higher than I wanted to pay. But, availability is what got my attention. It had some Gold Dots for short barrels that I wanted to try. I even picked up a box of .357s, while I was buying. Now, I think that I may start focusing on handloading/reloading. Moving forward, I will probably be doing more target practice than anything. So, reloads or handloads should work fine for that.

Picked up 2 boxes of Fiocchi Cowboy Action 45 Colt 250gr RNFP today $50/box. Not exactly what I was looking for but I can't remember the last time I saw any 45 Colt so I am thankful for anything.
