Can you give some exampls of cost per 100 rounds.
9 mm
40 S&W
45 ACP

I hear some components are hard to find right now Like primers.

Go to Midway USA web site and search out the primers (out of stock), bullets (some also out of stock). If you need to buy brass, then it is cheaper to pick up Winchester target loads at Walmart.

I not only took up reloading again after a 20 year break, I also went back to bullet casting. As a result, I can load any of the calibers mentioned for around $2.50/50. If I had to buy bullets, it would be about triple that amount.

How about Blazer Gold. That is all I can find nowadays. It is brass I just assumed it would be reloadable.

And thanks for the Info.

I ran into a older gentleman at the range who started casting his own bullets a few years ago. He said it was fun and at his age something was going to kill him it might as well be lead. He was 82 and one of his guns was a 44 mag he said it helped with his athritis. It lossened up the stiffness.

Handloads.com has a handloading calculator.

Primers are hard to find right now. People are buying them as fast as they hit the store shelves.
