Hello -

I've been shooting a cast 200 gr. .38 Special load in bowling pin matches for several years, but now the company that produced the bullets is no longer in business. Anyone know of a source for heavy cast .38 bullets (plain base, sized .358)?

I would like at least 200 gr. - and 210 or 220 is even better. But I will drop down to 190 gr. if that's all I can get. And if I have to drop to 180, I've already found several companies on the net.

Note: I already know about Penn Bullets. I'm looking for a different source.

Thanks,

Thanks all ... good info ... although note that I requested plain base bullets and a source other then Penn, so some of the options provided don't fit my needs.

But the big thing I noticed with all the other sources is that their bullets are rather expensive. Why a cast 190 gr. plain base .38 bullet should cost 50% more than a cast 200 gr. plain base .45 bullet escapes me. I guess it's simply a case of supply and demand.

Just for reference, I did find a couple of lower price options:

Badman Bullets
http://www.badmanbullets.com

Colorado Cast Bullets (San Juan Range)
http://www.sanjuanrange.com

Both size their heavy .38 bullets to 0.357, so I'll inquire as to whether they'll also size them to 0.358.

Yeah...

Not sure how I missed the anti-Penn part in the OP...

I personally have nothing but good stuff to say about their bullets and service...
 
More good options ... with good prices as well. Time to pull out the Visa card. Certainly I'll find something in this mix that works well.

Thanks,
