Folks:
The generally best deals you're going to get on a case of 9mm new ammunition is $109.95 a case delivered all costs included.
You can reload 1,000 rounds with quality components for $70 a case and obtain better accuracy and better reliability.
I save $40 per case of 9mm I shoot.
Most of us reloaders are reloading a case of 45 ACP for $98 compared to buying a case of factory 45 ACP for $210-220.
On a case of 45 ACP I save over $100 per case. Hmmm ... can save enough bucks to buy another gun each year or shoot 2x ammo. And why aren't I reloading.
You just have to spend the $300-$600 for the reloading equipment and find a couple of hours here and there to do the reloading.
I like to do most of my reloading in the winter months.
It's really rainy here in Seattle and in 3 months, I have relaoded enough 9mm and 45 ACP for the whole year.
And on all these discussion boards, there is tons of useful help to get into and fine tune your reloading skills.
Just ask for help/advice and there are at least 30-50 folks whose names I recognize who have reloaded for years who would be more than happy to share their experiences and wisdom with you.
Save your brass and reload. Otherwise, I'll just smile at you at the range and sweep up your brass too.
