This is what .40" were costing me before I started casting, about .19 per round. I don't have any idea what WalMart charges for them.

At .19 per round the most expensive part was the bullet. Bullets were costing me about .14 cents each included shipping.

Now that I cast, I doubt that the bullets caos much more than a few cents each, maybe .05 or less.

I guess that puts my cost nowdays around ten cents a round. I use range brass or once fired off the net. The lead was found in my Dads garage, plenty of it.
