    The dreaded question, where is the best place for .357 , .44 wheel gun ammo ?

    What are you guys practicing with and using for home defense?
    Where do you buy it ? What kind of prices should I expect?
    I have experience with 38+ and 357 but I'm still all ears.
    I really need help on forty four.

    Thanks fellas.

    Start here, put in your zip and you will get an accurate PRC (per round cost).

    If you already reload for your rifles, now would be a good time to start reloading for your wheel guns. Reloading for revolvers is probably the easiest and cheapest (compared to factory ammo) reloading you're ever going to find. Plus brass recovery at the range is as simple as dumping empties into a bucket.

    In MY handguns..SPEER GOLD DOT is almost all I use. In .38 its the 125gr GD +P. In .357 the 125gr GD. In 9mm either the 124gr +P GD or Winchester Ranger 127gr +P+. In .45ACP 230gr. GD...230gr Magtech +P...or Hornady 230HP's. Also have a stash of .223 55gr GD's Im saving for SHTF.
    Im sure somebody will come along and disagree or criticize..but its what I use.

    I shoot like 300+ rounds of 9mm every time I hit the range.

    Gold dots cost like 5x more than my reloads. How much do you shoot?
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Or alternatively how much money do you have to be burning up a bunch of premium ammo?

    I shoot a lot of S&B and Magtech for range chow.

    I shoot Gold Dot's for self defense chow.

    I order both from SGAmmo, just across the border in Oklahoma.

    For .357 I really like mag tech. The 158grn is pretty warm, and makes cool fireballs out of my gp100 .other than that I use .38 blazer brass. It's cheap and actually available where I live.
