However if you want to do a dollar-for-dollar breakdown:
Cases - you buy a press/powder/primers and bullets and send me evidence that you have and the first 500 9mm cases are on me.
Bullets - I highly recommend Berry's plated bullets. 9MM in 124 grain, plated hollow points are $89.86 per thousand and delivery is free.
You found primers at $36 for a thousand ? Excellent.
Powder is a personal preference but a good one is Unique at less than $20 a pound. At 5.5 grains per round, this pound (7000 grains) will make over a thousand rounds, easy. ( 1272 to be precise).
So you are into your first thousand rounds (you will reuse the free brass, right?) for less than $150. That works out to $7.50 a box of 50.
Consider that you would have paid $17.50 for a box retail. You "saved" $10 per box and you just made 20 boxes! You're $200 to the good.
Now go get a press and get started!!!
