Well, not the least expensive but they are about the best quality and a damn good price at leadhead bullets.

We use them in production loads, I do not have a vested interest in them just good comments.

Missouri Bullet is a great place to get bullets, they have 38 wadcutters for $25 per 500, and they use flat rate shipping, very reasonable prices.  I've started using their cast bullets in my 44 mag, and I'm quite happy with the accuracy and the prices.

You might consider casting; if you can score some wheel wts from a tire shop that's not recycling for the increasing prices now going up in lead.  If you shoot alot you can pay for your basic setup in a year or so.  An electric furnace with a bottom spout and a mold in your preferred wt, a good lube, and a Lee pan lube kit and sizer.  Do some reading from Lee's book or others on proper technique and go for it.  I've been casting for over 20 years and still using some of my original molds.
