[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 863988, member: 423"] If you order a full case (or split an order with another reloader) from Montana Gold, you can get 9mm for ~ .08/bullet, .40 for ~.10/bullet, and .45 for ~.13/ bullet. One case is approximately $300 +/- and number of bullets depends on bullet weight. IE, for 115gr 9mm, a case is 4000, where for 230gr .45, a case is 2000. Primers, I would count on $.04 per primer, large or small pistol doesn't seem to make too much of a difference. For pistol rounds, powder cost is almost negligible, maybe a penny a round. As for the press, if you are pretty sure you are going to load a lot, and keep it up for a long time, get a good progressive. The Hornady LnL with the 1k free bullets is a good deal for a good press. I have a Dillon that works well, got it used. Considering the reading you've done, you're probably going to be in this boat. If you don't shoot much, or aren't sure how much / how long you are going to load, you can get into a Lee turret kit on the cheap, they are decent, and will still last a long time, they just are not the quality that the Dillon or Hornady are, and won't hold their value the same. Be safe and have fun. It's a great hobby. [/QUOTE]
