Don't bother.

I reload for everything I shoot. One of my favorites is the 7.62x54R. I use 123 gr fmj or sp bullets loaded to just under 300fps. Shoots well in my 91/30, fast and flat, and reduces recoil. 10mm is where I save the most $. I guess that I don't save much money, but do get to shoot more for the money I spend.
 
9mm broke the reload price point for me last summer. I shot up my factory stock, and now will reload it.
 
I handload all centerfire calibers I own including 9mm, which I shoot the most.
The only commercial ammunition I buy is for ccw.
 
I shoot about 15 different calibers and personally reload for only 3 (45lc, 223, and 45-70). I would like to reload for the others, but the setup is costly. Besides, my brother reloads for many of the calibers I don't, so I get cartridges from him.
 
Well, let me rescind the post I made 2.5 months ago. With recent price increases and getting some really good deals on bulk components I am now loading 9mm plinking ammo for $3.50 a box; WWB stuff is about $9 a box now so I am cranking out the 9mm as of a couple weeks ago. Waiting on a 5000-bullet order from the caster as I type.

SO I now load 9mm, .45, .44 Mag, .38 spl, .357 Mag, .308, 6.5x55
 
Wow, a thread from 9-20-03!

If a round is reloadable, then I WILL reload it! Especially if it is a wildcat, which means either reload it or don't shoot it. That means re-forming cases too. When I bought a .25 auto I reloaded for that as well as cast boolits for it. Latest acquisition is a Cz M-52 in .762 X 25 Tokorav. Cute little bottle neck 30 cal pistol round, looks real nice with 100 grain lee 30 cal 2r lead boolits in them.

Nobody can convince me that reloading does not save money. Besides, we are the original recyclers. Picking up our own empties and those of others makes us look good.

Same here, my son wanted some 9mm ammo for his birthday. I bought him 1000 rounds of UMC...it was $180 plus tax.
It's time to dust off the 9mm dies.
