A few cents less than $12.00 per hundred buying components in bulk with good cast bullets.

Excellent! Exactly the recipe I'm looking for.

Before you start casting get yourself a copy of the Lyman and/or RCBS Cast Bullet manuals, follow the guidlines for safe casting. Watch your casting temperature, be safe and have fun. Casting bullets can be a very enjoyable pastime. As you become more comfortable casting bullets, your production rate will increase thereby reducing your cost per unit. Wheel weights make great bullet alloy, stay away from leadfree weights.
