I use a premium bullet...Montana Gold ...FMJ...and I buy all my components in case lots ...( 115 gr 9mm bullets are about 4,000 to a case as I recall) but I also load their 124gr FMJ at about the same price in 9mm).

For 9mm I'm at about $ 0.11 a round or $ 5.50 for a box of 50.
For .38 spl / or .357 mag ...I use the same 158gr bullets...and @ $ 0.14 a round or about $ 7.00 for a box of 50. In the .38 spl you use a little less powder ....but the cost of the bullets is what is primarily driving the cost of the reloads.

Actually, in the last year or so ...the price of components has stabilized or gone down a little from the last couple of years.
