Good service and pricing from my standpoint so far!

It all depends on what type of bullets you are looking for. I am shooting 148gr HBWC from remington. Midway has them for $108 per 2000!! These wadcutters shoot great out of all my .357/.38 guns.
If you are looking for a jacketed bullet, I use Montana Gold. the 125gr jhp is $300 a box of 3750!!
This is the best deal that I have found, and I looked everywhere.
Good Luck!!!

I shoot copper plated 158 gr RNFP from X-Treme bullets. $105 for 1000 with shipping included.
As a follow up question, where do you get .357 brass? I use Starline or would settle for Remington, but no one seems to have any in stock.

Usually Midway. Great prices and they ship quickly.

+1 to Rocky Mountain Reloading. $69 for 500 158 gr. JHPs, including shipping. Quality bullets, and they were at my house two days later. 
NOTE - not every bullet is available all the time at RMR (i.e. no 158 gr. JHPs at the moment). They may be a pretty small operation, just the kind I like to support.
Had to chuckle - Missouri Bullet sells lead bullets for .357 magnum (magnum velocities)... and also says on the same page that "you may be interested in... the Lewis Lead Remover Kit"

I'm not dissing Missouri Bullet - their prices are very good and I'm sure their bullets are too. Just not sure I'd want to shoot hot .357 unjacketed lead and worry about the cleanup afterward.

You guys shooting .357 Magnum/.38 Special need to start using Bear Creek moly-coated bullets-they won't lead your barrel!!!

Another +1 on Missouri Bullet Co.
Last year I ordered 500 of a certain type bullet and was puzzled when another box of 500 came in a 2 days after the first. It had a note in it apologizing that the bullets I received originally were sized off about .001" and that these new ones (free) were properly sized - please keep both. It's that kind of customer service that sets Brad and his folks apart.

Try Penn bullets. You can push them to Mag volocity with very little leading.
He also sells them with Standard Sizing - .358 Optional - .357, .359, .360.
His .38 Caliber 158 Grain Semi-Wadcutter Bevel Base I have loaded for a Lever action 357 and they worked very well.
His 158 sells for $62 per 1000 and that includes shipping.

I bought a couple of boxes of LSWC bullets from Missouri Bullet Co. for my .38 special and have been having problems with the finished cartridges not seating properly in the cylinder, causing the cylinder to jam when closing in the frame.
I made careful measurements of the "rejected" loads and found that the cases have a diameter of .378 to .379 near the mouths with the bullets seated. The bullets are sized .358, and I think that I need to re-size these bullets because the cylinders measure .378, and I believe that the bullets are expanding the cases to the point that they jam in the cylinders.
Has anyone else experienced this? Should the seating die be taking care of this? Or do I need to buy a re-sizing kit for these bullets?
I've reloaded over 1,000 LSWCs branded Suter's Choice and sized .357, with zero problems.

Shortly after I sent my previous post, I sent a similar inquiry to Missouri Bullet Company. The last thing I expected was a reply after hours on Good Friday, but Brad responded almost immediately and was gracious, helpful and concerned. It's the best service I've ever received from any company I've ever dealt with, and they've got my vote.
I bought a bullet-puller today so that I could research this further. After pulling a couple of bullets from the rounds in question, the bullets measured a perfect .358, and I still haven't found the actual root of the issue but it's certainly not the bullets.
