I will edit this and state that I was assuming that's the price for a loaded round. Not just a bullet.
That cost depends on a lot of factors. One of the biggest being the cost of the lead. There is also a fairly large swing in powder prices. And gas checks, if used, can vary by a few cents. Even at $15 per pound of powder a common load would be in the range if $.08 just for powder. I'd you bought lead at $1 per pound which is the going rate you're at $.02 for a 150 grain bullet. I'd like to be able to get my rounds down that low but for someone just starting out it won't happen.
