Which city are you from ??
You will only get that in a very famous gun shop with lot of varieties of weapons and cost will be around 600-1000 for a pop .

.38 indicates the bore in inches. .38mm would be the size of a needle. If by .38 you mean .38S&W a.k.a .38-200 then KF makes ammo for it from time to time. You will be able to get it from a dealer with a license to deal in Restricted(what was earlier called Prohibited Bore) firearms. It certainly is not for 600-1000 per cartridge. No idea about the exact price though.

Yes you are right finding a dealer who deals in PB is little difficult . In pune they charge for .380 pistol round 600-1000 a single round which is very expensive.
