Just got a new Ruger Blackhawk in .357/.38 spc and am having a difficult time finding ammo in the local stores. What I have found is around $37.00 for .357 and $32 for .38 special. That seems very high to me; but I know we are in new times.

Yeah, it's high.

Can anyone give me a good target price for both .357 and .38? I just don't want to be "price gouged."

There appears to be none around, but something like Blazer ammo (if you can find it) should be around $25 -$30 a box of 50. Premium SD ammo seems a bit over the top. .38 special will often be right around $20ish. Some a bit less, some a bit more...again, if you can find it.
Midway USA is a good place to do price checks. They may not be the cheapest, but you'll typically be in the ballpark.

By the way, reloading components are unavailable at my local stores here in SC. So reloading is not an option. Plus, I am active duty military and am getting ready for a cross country move. I just can't pack up all the reloading elements and move every 2-3 years.

Can't or won't?
Reloading gear in a CONUS to CONUS move seems pretty workable if you really wish to. You will have to haul the HAZMAT (Primers & Powder)with you in your POV &/or U-Haul.
The equipment you
need will fit in a footlocker or a plastic Rubbermaid storage bin without a lot of effort. Two at most. a couple bins are insignificant in the big picture of a PCS. Your firearms will likely require more effort and thought than a couple bins of reloading equipment.
