    Getting some revolvers for the ladies in the family that are wanting to learn to shoot.
    I'm going to need a good quantity of .38 sp target and some self defense rounds.
    Hoping to find a decent price.
    Any help out there for a few ladies who are ready to take responsibility for their own safety would be greatly appreciated!:)

    Any amount would be a big help!

    .38 Wad Cutters is what you need for short range practice. I have not read anyone talking about this target round for years. Anyone out there that has some to help this INGO Member?

    I've shot 38 target for years and years and don't think I've ever seen a box of factory wadcutter on any shelf any where ever, and I mean like in 30 years of looking,

    I"m afraid your going to have to reload if you need any real target stuff,

    Where in GW are you, OP...

    And what's your schedule like this eve. or Sat morning?

    I MIGHT have some old (25+ years) SWC .38 Special that was given to me.

    IndyGuy, I'm off of Fry road, but can meet just about anywhere.


    Did you get your blades sharpened?

    Got the mower blade taken care of, yes!!

    My wife & I may head to Home Cheapo and/or Menards late this afternoon / evening. If you'll be around, PM me your cell #.

    IF I have the ammo, and IF we go that direction, I'll buzz you a text to see if you're able to meet. We have two young kids and I've caught a nasty cold - so no guarantee that we'll be out and about. :D

    Still in need? I have 150 rounds of Federal 38 Special 158 grain lead round nose that I picked up at Walmart a few weeks ago. They were for my boss and he backed out. I think I paid $18.97 + tax per box. $20 per box decent? OR if you have a baitcaster or spinning rig that I can use in Canada for some walleye next week???? PM me if interested.

    STAR Ammo. is the brand of wad-cutters I bought. I have not seen any for years and years also. I'll see what I may have in storage. Mine will be old too, but it should be fine. If kept dry, ammo can last many decades in storage.

    Still looking for some reasonably priced ammo to help the ladies with!
    Wadcutters would be ideal, but any .38 special will work.
    Thanks!
