Remington has an ammo rebate promotion. I brought Remington .30-30 (150 and 170gr) with the rebate at $12.99 at Dick's Sporting Goods. Dick's also had a sale on all Remington shotgun shells (including 12g 00): Buy one, 50% off on the next. .357 were in short supply; but .38sp were plentiful.,
I havent seen a box of 38 special ammo on the shelves in my area for less than 45-60 bucks since January.
Im lucky Ive got about 400 rounds of it.
I refuse to pay $45 bucks for 100 rounds of 158 gr RN 38 special. I love my 642 J frame snubby but if this lasts much longer Ill swap it for a glock 26 or a Kahr PM-9
