Calculating the cost of reloading 9mm

[RustyFN]

I can find 9mm bullets for 10 cents each and primers for about 3 cents each
Does anyone know what the powder will cost?

Also are there bullets for cheaper than that?

Not sure about the bullets because I cast most of what I shoot. I think you can buy Zero bullets for around 7 cents each. I have shot a lot of zero bullets and they are good. As far as powder and primers if you get a C&R license and buy from Graf's in bulk you can get primers for around 2 cents each and depending on powder $13 per pound or 1 cent per round. Those prices include hazmat and shipping. That should get you close to 10 cents per round. Casting bullets will take some time but can save quite a bit of money.

I’m not picking on anyone about their prices just using everyday prices normal guys have to pay, since most of us aren’t “uber special”.

Nuke these are todays prices at Graf's with a C&R license. Anybody that can legally own a gun can get a C&R license for $30 for 3 years.

Very good information

The bullets I'm looking at are Missouri Bullet 125 gr lead cast for about 5.3 cents each if you buy 3000 and you live out of state. My primers were 3.2 cents each and it looks like powder will be 1 cent per round.

That brings it to 9.5 cents per round so far minimum cost.

I have never use any Missouri Bullets but I have heard a lot of good things about them. I think you will be very happy with them.
