Loaders:

I took the time to figure out exactly what it was costing me to reload 9mm with super coated lead bullets.

Here's the figures
Bullet 3.6 cents
Primer 3.3 cents
Powder 1.3 cents
or 8.2 cents.

If I count the original cost of used brass I have to add four cents, but I figure the brass as free since I reload and reload.

At that price it is cheaper to shoot my 9mm than my 22, at least not at the price of most of the 22 ammo I'm running into.

I know there is an argument that reloading doesn't save you any money as you only shoot more, but that's a non-sequitor. On a shot per shot basis, once you've got the cost of your equipment covered, it does save you money.
