.357 mag ammo in Portland?

[patmenace]

I found some 357mag but it was $48 a box.

I'm assuming that's high? It looks like sportsman's has (at least their websites says they do) a box of 50 357 fmj for $35.99. I'm going to call and go over there tomorrow if they do.

Thanks again to everyone that replied.

Yep call ahead and as mentioned SG does have it. If you just want one box just pick out some other stuff to hit the $200 mark and the ship is free at least. Of course now is not the time to try but when the pipe line fills again this shows you why anyone who shoots should learn to roll their own too. Takes a little investment in stuff so you can be prepared but damn its worth it when these panic shortages hit like this. When you get some and try to gun you want save that brass!

I will definitely check out SG ammo in the future! Thanks for the tip

That price is high for what is practice ammo but, hey if that's all you can find its of course what you have to pay. Ammo is coming back but as you see some is still harder to lay hands on and the price of the raw materials keeps going up at an alarming rate on top of that.

Was it good 30 years ago? I moved to the Foster Powell neighborhood in 2008 and was there til 2017. Tried that place maybe 5 different times over that period and got nothing but crap from any of the workers their every time I went. And it wasn't just someone having a bad day or the typical attitude some Portland workers give at times. It was as if they had an open contempt for the customers. Felt like I was ruining there day just by walking through the door. Never understood it.

i found 357 at coastal farm in albany federal 50 round box for $40.00 and remington 20 round box for $36.00. i passed on the remington got the federal 2 days later they still had the remington. so it is out there you just have to hunt it down. 9mm and 223 is now common as dirt, everywhere you look, so i would expect to see 357 showing up soon. Albany Gun show this weekend ,,,,,,we will see.

Thank you, however I was looking for some locally. I'm trying to not have to pay $15 for shipping on 1 box of ammo

Sportsman's on 82nd doesn't have any either. The guy there suggested I call NW Armory or Keith's so I will try them next

Don't recall to be honest. It was more of a "tongue in cheek" comment.
Could be entertaining.

If you plan to carry the gun, Kimber k6s DASA is the narrowest six round out there and is a work of art.
