I've been a rimfire rifle collector for quite awhile but have recently moved into shooting handguns. Since all I've purchased up till now has been 22 LR or shorts, I know little about ammo pricing for other calibers. I'm looking for info on the 38 Special, the 357 and the 45 ACP. Have some questions:
1. What retail outlet/s have the best prices on ammo?
2. How about online guys like cheaperthandirt.com? Who has best prices?
3. I know there are different grades of ammo. What should I use for target and what is recommended for personal protection?
4. I've also been told that some grades of ammo/brass cannot be reloaded. How can I tell what these are?
My son and I are starting to shoot more often and now the wife might even be showing some interest. Looking to keep the cost down. I don't want to get into reloading right now. Thanks for the education.
