I buy my ***in' .380 ammo at ***in' Walmart, it's $32 a ***in' box.

If you can't find it in the ***in' ammo case, check over in the ***in' women's lingerie section. Sometimes the 9mm Luger and .45ACP rounds pick fun at it, so it goes there to cry.

Fratelli Tanfoglio made Gardone Italy where Beretta is also mfg.....they make the EAA Witness series of pistols that EAA Imports now. this one is imported by FIE and sold under the name Titan II. it was a steal so I got a good swap for it

J & G Sales has a 1000 rd case of Sellier & Bellot 92gr FMJ for $310 delivered to my zip code which makes it $15.50 a box of 50 rounds. Haven't seen it much cheaper than that lately.

Now that I looked again, the 100 rd case of Tulammo is $281 delivered for the 91gr FMJ.

that's funny..i have a box of .380 and no gun in that caliber

Nor would i ever have one either..I also have 2 American Eagle bulk packs in .223 and again..no rifle in that caliber either...how do you acquire 2 BULK packs without noticing?????????

I have a few packs of CCI Large Rifle Magnum primers at home. I don't own any caliber that can use it. I picked them up accidentally when I went to get some Large Rifle primers. And I had a box of 9mm ammo in my bag. I didn't own a 9mm for a while. My girlfriend had accidentally put her box in my bag.

it may come to that very soon....I don't know squat about reloading.

FPS, reloading is not that difficult to learn. And if you shoot a lot it can be very cost effective for many different calibers - providing you have a way to retrieve your cases.

A basic Lee Anniversary kit is ~ $100. A set of Lee dies is another $25 or so. There's nothing bad about single stage presses IMHO. That's where I started and I still prefer that method for many of my loads.

Reloading .380's is about as fundamental and simple as it gets. It's a small straight-walled case. The cases don't get a lot of wear and tear so they last. Once-fired range pickups are easy to find so there's seemingly an endless supply of free brass.

While folks find "good prices" of $15/50, that's still .30 per round. And let's be honest, is there such a thing as "match quality" .380's? If so, I'm not in that league. But my plinking rounds feed my pistols well cost a lot less.

I look at it this way:
- Cases are basically free, but let's figure $ .02 per load for a case.
- Plated bullets can easily be had for 6 or 7 cents. Lead is even cheaper if you cast your own, but let's say $ .07 per load.
- Primers? Pricing is all over the place, but let's say $.04 each.
- Powder? Geez, you can load almost 3000 .380 rounds with a $20 pound of Unique. Let's say $.02 for propellant to be fair (...I might spill some).

So if my math is right, I can build a .380 round that goes bang as well as every factory load I've ever fired for ~ $.15 per round or less. Why would I not do that?

No wonder I seem to never have an issue with supply or prices for .380 ammo. And I can still shoot my .380 pistols any time I want. I think I'll stick with my reloads. Y'all can leave your empty cases for me. I promise I'll find 'em and reload them as always. :innocent0

Just picked up a box of Winchester (white box) .380Auto for $32.00 at Walmart on Quarterfield Rd (100 rounds).

MDGolom · Nov 6, 2010

I should add they also had Remington and TulAmmo in stock. I have some of the Tula, but it shoots pretty dirty.

If I owned such a woman's caliber I'd sell the gun and buy a dull spoon, thereby upgrading my defensive weaponry.

Hahaha.
