My LGS got some .38spl ammo in today. It is HPR 158gr JHP, Made in USA.
I've never heard of this ammo before. $34 for a 50rd box of self defense ammo sounds like a fair deal right about now, if it's good stuff. But it's not worth it at any price if I can't trust my life with it.
I'm not familiar with that specific ammo but usually 38 Special is cheap. Seems high to me. Its not one of the calibers that has been flying off the shelf.

That is about what 38 specials 158 gr rn are selling for at Gander Mountain now it is high but that is todays prices for 38s unless you can luck into some at Wal-mart and they are arount $19. for the Remington
I'm talking about a specific brand of SD ammo here, the HPR 158gr JHP. Not the Gander Mountain/Wally-World target ammo special of the week (whatever that is). I've never seen these HPR SD loads at either places.
Good SD rounds are normally going for around $25 or more for 25 rds, if they have them in stock. I thought $34 for 50rds is a good price, provided they are decent.
A quick google search tells me that this MIGHT be loaded with Hornady bullets. If so, I would say that's a good price for SD rounds. Hornady generally is a good bullet.
This is what I use in 9 Luger. Its excellant SD ammo and a lot cheaper. But a good deal with none available is worthless. If you only need 50 rounds I say buy the 38 Special cause even if you pay too much its only a few dollars too much. Now if you are thinking 500 rounds I would shop around.
In my neck of the woods HP's of any caliber start at a minimum of $1 a round. Excluding .22's of coarse. I'am not familiar with the brand but at that price I"d certanly give them a try. 158gr. bullets are my favorite in .38Spl and .357Mag.
