[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2937810, member: 423"] But that's using coated lead. And yes, if you use cast or coated lead bullets, you can save significantly. If you are keeping apples to apples, then with jacketed bullets that's closer to $90/1000 if you buy in bulk. If you bought 1k 9mm jacketed you're looking at $100/1000. If you compare "cheap crap" to lead projectiles, then are still ahead, by ~$0.03/rd. If you compare brass cased jacketed, then you are still ahead by about the same amount. Yes, if I compare used range brass to bullets I cast myself vs Speer Gold Dot ammo, I can put a spankin on it. My point was this, for .357 Mag, $330/1000 for Geco ammo. Brass (be conservative): $30 Primers (same): $35 Bullets (jacketed): $114 Powder (conservative): $24 $200/1000. Saving over $100/1000. And that's comparing 125gr jhp to some FJM. If you want soft/hollow point ammo it's another $100/1000. That's what I mean by more savings. Any caliber that is .mil, can be had in bulk for cheap. Cuts the savings from reloading. [/QUOTE]
