Buying in bulk helps to lower the cost quite a bit. You have to understand when I say, bulk, it is buying amounts greater then 1000 primers or bullets at a time. I looked at my receipts and figured the prices today for on line purchases based on loading 19,000 rounds to make things easier. This is loading using 124 grain FMJ. I also included Haz-Mat and shipping. My final figures had some bullets and powder left over. It comes out to $12.37 per hundred. It beats paying Wal-Mart $9 more per hundred if and when you can find the 100 round boxes of federal champion. If I purchase in smaller quantities the price does start increasing.
I get about 20 reloads from the Federal Champion cases on average. I don't load them hot. Winchester cases last longer but I don't have any idea yet how long they will last. 9 mm being the cheapest factory center fire round to purchase, means you should be able to save even more per round reloading any other caliber.
