.38 SPEC BULK AMMO FOR TRAINING ?

Just getting into my S&W 686 for IDPA and I'm looking for some good, bulk training ammo. I use Fenix 9mm bulk for my SSP with good results but they don't offer .38 spec. This stuff is about double at the big box stores for what I pay for my 9mm so I could use some advice.  Thanks

The cheapest ammo I found is the Remington 130gr bulk ammo, but it doesn't make power factor.

 

But the brass is good.

Yeah. I just bought some of that Rem and I was worried about the PF too. I think it's around 104. But I should be able to get it through our loosely monitored monthly matches. :) It's still twice my 9mm at about .40 rd. :(
