9mm Reload Cost Practicality

[reyno2ac]

I can get the Federal 9mm at Wally World for $10 a box plus tax. It cost me between $6 and $7.50 (depending on bullet type) to make them assuming free once-fired cases. Reloading has to be an enjoyable hobby to justify the time spent.

38/357 or 45 ACP is a different story, very well worth reloading.

I actually just picked up some Winchester 100 round and Federal 50 round at Walmart, so I have something to shoot and some brass to add to the pile.

I think that once I'm done doing a lot of reading and get the equipment I'm going to go with Roze Distribution for jacketed ammo. It won't save me a ton, but I don't have to worry about the issues that can arise with lead.

Thanks for all the help! You guys have been great!

for reloading with lead bullets on the cheap, try Tennessee Valley Bullets and Missouri Bullet. both have websites.

Unfortunately clamping to a table isn't much of an option either. Hopefully once I'm out of college and able to get a bigger apartment a work bench will finally be more than a dream.

Consider one of the fold-up work benches such as a 'Workmate'.

And don't skimp on equipment.

Correct me if I'm wrong but mobile doesn't mean I'm skimping. I do however, when I have the space and money in the future, plan on upgrading to a table mounted unit.
