Of the four parts that make up a handloaded handgun round, the powder is typically the lowest in cost, depending on how you wish to figure the cost of the brass. (how you got it, if you'll eject & possibly lose it, how many reloads you'll get out of it)

Agreed - but - the OP also mentioned ammunition companies.
Even if the savings are a few cents - multiply that by the tens of millions of rounds made and it - makes sense - to go with the lower cost.

And 150 fps... in a handgun round is a substantial gain in any way it might be measured where math is involved.

I've mentioned in the past my idea of "significant" and "substantial" when it comes to handgun velocities. IMHO - 150 or even 200 fps don't matter that much to me - YMMV.
