I get my range ammo from www.mastercast.net. I've fired off more than 5,000 of their reloads (.38sp, 9x19) with perfect results. Prompt, reliable and inexpensive. If you really want to save money, start saving your brass. Mastercast's prices for ammo with spent cases in exchange are a real bargain. When you get enough to make it worth doing, say 500, send them via USPS Priority Mail. I send a thousand cases that way for nine bucks and change. Any other way I know of costs more than twenty dollars.
On another line, I used to buy my 9mm fmj from Outdoor Marksman -- their "factory reloads." I had bad luck with the last batch. Twice on chambering, a round came apart halfway into the chamber. In each case, I immediately field stripped my pistol. The bullet was in the chamber, up against the lands, an accident waiting to happen. Once I got the bullet out, I saw that it had a gouge on one side about where the crimp would be. The owner of the gunstore/range said the reloading tool's ram must have been off-center, and recommended that I put distance between myself and that ammunition. I did.
