I pay about 2.5 times more for factory loads if I buy 9mm at a store. At bulk rate, you are obviously saving less by reloading, but you will still be able to reload for significantly less, if you don't mind doing a little work. I get joy out of making my own bullets, but really only do it so I can shoot more. I sit and chat with my wife or listen to talk radio when I reload, so I don't consider it anything but relaxing.
Below is a great thread if you want the down and dirty of exactly how much you will save. Just remember though, you get to re-use your brass many times over, so that is not really a recurring cost. It costs me about 6 cents to reload a 9mm in FMJ (re-using the brass), and maybe a penny or so less if I reload lead bullets.
