I can load 230 grain RNL bullets for .45 ACP for about $7.50 for fifty versus $18 for brass cased factory or $15 for Tula steel case. .45 is fun and simple to reload for. 9mm, on the other hand, costs me about $6 for fifty and can be bought for $9 to $11 depending on brand and type. It is less enjoyable for me because 9mm brass is all over the place, dimensionally speaking, and a lot of it has those darned crimped primer pockets that play hell with my decapping pin. I will probably save my 9mm bullets and brass for another future panic and concentrate my reloading time on .38 special, .44 magnum, and .45 ACP and probably .40 S&W when I retire from my job and can no longer get practice rounds from work...
