My 9mm calculated out to 11.2 cents per round with W231 and xTreme 124gr plated RN bullets, and take your pick primers.

Re: Curious about reloading

Good data. Thanks.

Ok ... the question that always gets asked ...

Is there a checklist somewhere as to what equipment is needed?
How about a review of said equipment so that I don't buy junk?

what about a decent source for supplies. I've made note of a couple vendors mentioned in here.

Oh and I forgot to comment on this. I would find another range to shoot at :roll:

LOL ...

Options are limited here.
While not on the edge of the earth, I can see it from my back porch. :cool:

A reload blew up and the range knee-jerked the rules.
I guess when you're the only game in town ....

Curious about reloading

Not knowing anything about reloading (other than a lot of ranges don't allow it) is this just an extension of the shooting hobby or can serious money really be saved?

The wife and I go through 1000 rounds of 9mm a month. And I use the cheap stuff like Winchester bulk white box or the UMC Mega-Pack. It can be found in the $.18/ round range when buying in big lots.

So not including the initial purchase of the required tooling, what is a reasonable cost per round of lead/brass and a 115 grain load?
