New WC brass is availble but with shipping is a bit pricy:
www.grafs.com
for 50 peices you are looking at about $0.61/casing
for 500 it's a little better at $0.36/casing
At $28/box of 50 loaded rounds plus shipping of $16, it works out to $0.88/cartridge but that's loaded ammo.

That is the most expensive route but you do start with loaded ammo. I've loaded S&B WC brass and it is good brass.

@LEC Guy is correct.
I sent an email to Starline about 10 years ago or so asking if they had ever considered making a run of 38 Special "Wadcutter" brass.
I received an answer from Hunter Pilant that said their 38 Special brass is wadcutter brass.
There is no taper in the portion of the case where a full wadcutter would be seated to.
Like LEC Guy, I have never seen any case bulging when seating wadcutters in Starline brass, and I shoot a lot of them.

Well there's the answer STARLINE brass is $0.21/casing and is excellent brass.
Starline currently shows it on backorder for 500 peices BUT Graf & Sons has it listed as available in bags of 100.

I have (1000) W-W 38 spl WC yellow brass,
and (500) W-W 38 spl WC nickel plated.
I believe they are once fired, they "look" in excellent condition, but they were bought more than a decade ago and I don't remember the exact details. 10¢ each, $12 shipping.
Honestly, I don't know if 50 or 100 is worth the shipping.
Let me know if you are interested.
Hi Jon If I send you a check for $22 I'd get 100 pieces of W-W yellow brass?

Starline has been restocking much more quickly these days. It'll probably be back on their page soon.

I've been tempted to buy about 500 new Starline 38 Special casings and just squirrel them away but something else keeps eating up that part of the budget.
