I realize, as far as handgun ammo goes, the 9mm is probably the most popular. Followed in no particular order by .40S&W and .45ACP. Maybe .380ACP. But no less than 5th you'd think would be .38Spl. At least I'd think.
I need, yes NEED, S&B 38P. Which runs at the lowest, ~$28.50/100ct. But S&P 9mm runs only $14/100ct. Yes it's only 115gr while the 38P is 158gr, however, I just saw Brownells has S&P 45ACP 230gr for $25/100ct. You'd think 38P would be at most that price or even down around $20/100ct
Why is .38Spl so much more expensive? My reloads are only around $15/100ct. Is demand for it that low? Is there some insidious conspiracy against .38Spl?
