500 rounds .38 Special JHP

raindog · Oct 20, 2009

I'm selling an ammo box of 500 rounds of .38 Special. I bought it at a gun show about five years ago. I just don't shoot .38 Special much any more and would like the cash to use for other toys ;-)

It's 125gr JHP. Brand is HSM and it's made with Montana Gold bullets. Bought from <broken link removed> (the card that's in the case is shown below). HSM is very good ammo - it's the preferred ammo among the SniperCentral.com community. Not that you'd be sniping with .38 Special ;-)

You can look online to see what this stuff sells for:

Cabela's: <broken link removed>

Prices online are:

Cabela's: $125/300 (41.7 cents/round)
Cabela's: $235/600 (39.2 cents/round)
Cabela's: $455/1200: (37.9 cents/round)

And of course, you'll pay shipping! Ammoman is selling Federal ball for $199/500 + shipping!

I'm putting this up for $150 cash, in the PDX area (that's 30 cents/round). I can deliver, or you can pick up (East PDX, near Gresham), or possibly downtown during work hours.

The only trades I would be interested in are for:

Sierra .308 168gr MatchKing HPBT bullets (I don't need $180 worth, though)
Possibly some gunpowder, but it'd have to be a formula I need (primarily for loading .308 168gr ;-)
Possibly, a high-end 10/22 trigger (Kidd, Jard, etc.)

And yes, you get the lovely ammo box for free ;-)

Are these reloads or new mfg?

New. I bought them at a gun show and to the best of my memory they are new, and the case is marked "NEW". I remember buying a couple crates of .45 that were factory reloads, and they were both marked factory reload.

These rounds are loaded with Montana Gold JHPs (http://www.montanagoldbullet.com).

Potential purchasers are welcome to examine ;-)
