9mm is probably the cheapest ammo you can buy off the shelf, and very often you won't see significant cost savings, specially when your time is considered.

Not picking on this poster, but I would say that saving half the cost
or more on a vast majority of any caliber that you reload IS worth the money. One exception is if you shoot very little of a particular caliber. If I only shot a couple hundred of 9mm each year, then no, it would not be worth it. Another exception would be your equipment limitations. Again, I have a Dillon XL650 and my time to reload will be a LOT less than those with single stage or non-auto indexing presses. If I didn't have such a press, I might think otherwise.
If you aren't cutting your cost per round down to about half as much as quality factory loads, then you could probably do better. As you say, NINEX19, you have to decide what your time is worth.
