The way I look at reloading 9mm now is I'll buy a lot of factory ammo when I can find it cheap and then reload the brass when ever I get a chance. I think I'm going to start reloading all of my once fired brass with the rmr 124 hollow point so I'll have good supply of decent defensive ammo thats 2 dollars cheaper a box then the cheapest fmj, I'll then reload the brass as many times as I can with plated but not be that worried about loosing some of it. I reload at least 500 to 1000 at a time.
