Man, the price of ammo is rising...Reloading?

About $55 per thousand for 115 or 124gr bullets.



about $16 for a pound of titegroup powder (works pretty spiffy in 9mm)



about $25 a thousand for small pistol primers.



price of brass varies. For good 9mm brass that has been cleaned, expect at least $30 per thousand.





Once you have a decent supply of brass figure about $0.09 per round. So about $90 a thousand.

The cheapest setup you can get that is even remotely worth bothering with is a lee turret kit + a tumbler + dies + powder measure upgrade + bullet puller + calipers



That's what I started with about 4.5 years ago and it cost me about $280 then.



If i were starting over i would have just gotten a progressive press off the bat. Starting from zero and getting a progressive plus all the goodies you need to use it safely, you are probably talking $700.



if that'd buy enough ammo to not worry about it for a year or so, then reloading probably isn't for you.
