[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3461648, member: 24867"] That's a great point. It would, which would lower the round count from my previous figures. A quick check on Midway USA showed 5 pound ingots of lead for about $13. You could get about 238 rounds of 147gr 9mm from one of those 5 pound ingots if you had zero lead loss, at a cost of 0.054 cents per round. Even if this lead is dirty, and would require further refinement (which I have no clue how to do it, but know that there are several YouTube videos explaining the process), you'd be casting that at about a cost of about 0.01 cent per round, or 1/5 the cost of buying ingots from Midway.
