It's hard to pin a # down . Bullet and powder costs vary allot from brand to brand , store to store and on quantity purchased. FWIW, It generally costs me about $7-8/100 for 38's, $11-12/100 for 45acp and $14-18/100 for .223 (when I bother). I buy my cast bullets by the 1000, (shotgun) powder by the 8# keg for the handgun loads. The 223 uses 7x as much powder as a 38 ( and the powder is more expensive). I'll reload for my bolt/varmint 223's but feed my semi autos commercial/milspec stuff. Same goes for 9mm and 380. It's not even worth reloading for the price I can get it at wally world.
