Hey Gang,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks for the great info and topics. I recently purchased my MP 40 and also picked up a nice little Walther P22 to get my wife into shooting as well. I'd like to get into IDPA here in my area ( Columbus, Ohio ) and am looking forward to next year's schedule. For now I have a lot of practice to do and a ccw class to take.

I know this question should be on a different forum but, could somebody just give me a quick estimate on the reloading $$ for the .40 caliber? I'm looking at a Dillon press and am mainly interested in just loading practice ( Cheap ) rounds for now.

Thanks,

Eric

Welcome! If you shop at the right places an approximation is .10 per round.

Welcome!

The bullet is the most expensive part, so depending on the exact components, you should be able to reload 40 S&W for about 9 cents a round using plated bullets, like the ones from Rainier or Berrys. If you use commercially cast bullets, you can get that a bit lower, possibly down to 6-7 cents a round.

Welcome! BTW, you can't go wrong with a Dillion press, I love my RL550B.

Thanks for the info guys. I was looking at a Square Deal B press and need to justify the cost of realoading to my better half. With those estimates my plan just may work!!

Blue rules the reloading bench!
