Never touch the stuff. Factory .38 and .357 has been expensive for at least a couple of decades. Last cheap stuff I found was some Fed .38+P 158LHP for about $3.50 for 20, about 20 years ago, and the cases on about 1-10 of those split on the sides. Rolling your own is the only way to fly with revolvers unless you’re well-to-do.

OTOH, 9mm ain’t worth the time, even at $.30 a pop. I buy the Blazer aluminum so I won’t be tempted to scrounge my brass.


What fresh Hell is this?
