View Full Version : If anyone finds Winchester .45GAP 230gr. FMJ, please let me know
I have searched everywhere online without luck.
If anyone ever finds this ammo I would appreciate letting me know so I can order a bunch also.
Thanks so much!!
And the flip side to this:
I have a Glock 38. Anyone use other ammo that they like better?

+1. Not only do I like it, I think it would make excellent SHTF ammo to stock up on. It has a wide meplat, and it's flat nose should crush more tissue. For target use it is very accurate in my experience. Also, being a TMJ it is noticeably cleaner to shoot.
Back to the original question...You should be able to find the Winchest 230gr at cheaperthandirt.com .They usually stock it I think. Otherwise you could always go to gunbroker.;c

Federal's American Eagle 185gr works just fine also. Similarly priced.

I found plenty here in Michigan at Jays Sporting Goods (Clare, MI)
their web site is: www.jayssportinggoods.com
That is what I shoot in my 38.
Thanks for all the reply's.
Firefighter38, your place responded to my e-mail very quick. They said they are running a little low, but it will hopefully cover my needs. Great prices compared to my store here in Tulsa ($16.95 here). Thanks so much!!!
And thank you to the others. I now have other options for quality ammo to try that you all use. I've heard of the Federal and Speer and am glad to hear that it is good ammo for this gun.
I'll try them all and see what works for me.
Thanks again. I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

I haven't shot any of it yet, but I just bought a case of Federal AE45GAP. It came out to $12.01 a box delivered to my house. It did take two weeks to get here as the place I ordered from had to order it themselves, but you can't beat the price.

I just got the last case. They still have some individual boxes available. Thanks a million BFG38K! Hopefully this is a sign that Winchester has finally ramped up production.

I think that may be the case. Earlier today, I was at a local hunting shop and the guy called his distributor to stock check some for me. The distributor said he was out of stock but had some enroute. I would have special ordered some but even with a 10% off coupon, I still would of been paying over $14 plus tax. I figure from Midway, I am paying right at $14 when you divide the shipping between the other stuff I bought there in addition to the ammo. Still $1.50 more than I paid a few months ago, but not a horrible deal. One of the local shop sells their Federal American Eagle stuff for $17.99, another one for a whopping $21.99.

You do realize that a case to Winchester is only ten boxes instead of 20 right? Therefore, if you had ordered 2 more boxes, you could have gotten free shipping. See if you can change your order before they ship it out.

I did order 12 boxes to get the free shipping... ;-)
I was just lazy when I typed this morning...
But that's a great reminder for folks...
I just ordered 25 boxes from CheaperThanDirt.
With their free shipping on orders over $150 this was the best overall price I have found (with your help...thank you).
The jayssportinggoods had boxes for $11.49 but ran out and their new August supply is going to be $14-$15.49 per box per the e-mail they sent me.
So I've finally found some ammo and can shoot my G-38 when it arrives. And boy do I need the practice!!
If I find any cheaper I will keep updating here. You guys have been a big help to me in finding ammo. I guess that's why I started this thread.
Thanks again!!!!!
