OK so basically, even with the Hazmat charge, would you guys say its still economical to reload? Any of you know the cost per round for reloading 9mm and 45acp?
Yes it is cheaper even with the hazmat. What you have to do is buy in bulk. For one hazmat fee you can buy 50,000 primers, or 48 pounds of powder, or 48 pounds of primers and powder mixed but you can't order a mixed shipment from MidwayUSA. Every other place I know will ship a mixed order for one hazmat. Go in with a couple of friends and place a larger order.

Yes I know what my cost is but you won't be able to get there. I am still using components from 2007. I also cast my own bullets with free lead. The general rule is at todays prices if you order in bulk you should be able to load for at least half of what cheap factory ammo cost. You might have to wait for this crazyness to slow down a little.
