[QUOTE="younggundavid, post: 2200177, member: 28977"] He never said the brass was free (that would've stuck in my head as I responded to postings),, but he did say his figures were "provided he doesn't have to pay for the brass" same difference as free I'm sure. Based on that I'm aware a subtraction of around 4 cents would be necessary.. Thanks for pointing that out. Based on that I can only assume he's purchasing bullets for 18 dollars a hundred from a local retail store and isn't aware bulk bullets should cost 8 to 9 cents a round for plated 9mm bullets... (if you can find them) Not sure how to get FREE brass... Maybe I'll have to reload for another 15 years before I can figure it out. I generally only sell around 9 to 10 thousand rounds a year and reload about 1500 rnds for myself...(I reload my own brass so I dont have to constantly buy new brass for myself..) So I do pay for the 9 to 10 thousand rounds a year I sell or barter with. I live in the country and shoot down at the bottom of the canyon's.. Occaisionally I go to an outdoor range. The rules of the range won't allow me to pickup any brass except my own...
