I was looking through the Remington and Winchester ammo pages and didn't find any 158 Grain loads. Are they going to 125 grain accross the board because of the cost of lead? Some other reason? I've always been partial to heavier bullets and it looks like I'll have to reload everything.
No 158 Gr. 38 Spl Loads

I buy 158 grain LRN and +P LSWCHP 158 gr from Remington all the time.
I'll check myself on their site but you have to have had missed it.
EDIT: I just checked, it's still on their list both in +P and standard. See for yourself: http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/handgun/remington.asp
You can buy them from this link in LSWCHP +P: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/66333-7389-169.html
Here it is in LRN from Winchester: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/65257-7905-170.html

If you decide to roll your own...
I can certainly recommend this guy:
z56panhead@bellsouth.net
as a great source for cheap brass. I've dealt with him a couple of times. 250 nickle-brass cases, cleaned, for six bucks, and shipped johnny-on-the-spot.
Load your own. It's a great way to while away the evening instead of watching the summer reruns on TV.

Georgia Arms usually has good prices on remanufactured loads. They also manufacture new Gold Dots, though not at 158 gr. for the .38.

To BEENTHERE:re 158 grain bullets
Check this web site. It's in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I've used them for over a year. High quality. They load for Cleveland Police Dept. I use their 158 grain JHP all the time.

In A Rifle
I have done some experimenting concerning the 158 SWCFP. Definitely the heavier bullets are more precise. That goes also for the .45 ACP.
I hunt with a 38 spl. Rossi lever action 3.4 grns Bullseye and 158 SWCFP, small deer, capibaras up to 80 Kilos weight. On paper targets, this load up to 20 meters, from a rest has consistently shot one hole groups. I don't know in revolvers which I consider for short range use (no more than 15 feet).
