    148g WC Ammo - Source?

    I just spent more time on the internet than I wanted to, looking for 148g WC ammo. I bought a 642 just before having shoulder reconstruction surgery. PT is over and I can once again hold the gun at arms level, so...time to practice. Bought a couple boxes of Sellor & Belot WCs when I bought the gun but that stuff is crap, with inconstant rim thicknesses that bind up the little J-frame. Trouble is, every source I know of on the web is out of stock for Federal, Winchester, Remington, even CCI Blazer.

    Anyone here know of a source that actually has WCs in stock and will sell them? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Target Sports has Federal Gold Medal match at $19.99. I just bought some, arrived yesterday.

    My sincere thanks to everyone with links to new (to me) sources of ammo. Since the "go to" round for the J-frames seems to be the Federal Gold Medal Match, and Target-Sports had it for $10 less that the out of stock sites I had looked at, I bought 10 boxes. I had not done business with or even heard of Target-Sports before.

    Thanks again for all the help,
    Dave

    I shoot a lot of the precision delta wadcutters. They are a little cheaper and shoot really well in my j frames.

    I buy most of my bulk 9mm from target sports. I've been pleased. I've never needed their customer service but they generally ship pretty quickly. I find their prices pretty good especially if you buy by the case and get free shipping.

    That is why every dedicated revolver shooter buys a Lewis Lead remover kit.

    Just as a backup. It seems the really dedicated ones work out loads that don't lead in each gun.

    I prefer Federal Gold Medal Match or Buffalo Bore HCWC.
