Ok, I went to the supply shop and bought enough powder and primers to load 2000 rounds of 9mm. It cost me right under $93. If I bought 2000 rounds of ready made's at $12.50 a box (of 50), it would cost me $500.00 plus tax. The second and on to 15 reloads cost me under 5 cents a round compared to the 25 cents the ready made's are . After the first reloads I already have the brass and I get my wheel weights for free at the tire shop in town for the bullets I make . I can shoot 50 rounds 20 times a month for 2 months before I run out of powder and primers.

So now I have a question,
where the heck is all the money that I got into reloadin for so I could save???

You're not going to save much on 9mm's. Savings on other calibers, especially revolver rounds, do add up though. YMMV, hobbles.

Afternoon SD,
I realize I save 20 cents per round by making my own, but I find in the long run I just shoot more. I think I still spend the same amount of money. My wallet ain't no thicker.

I been reloading for 30+ years to save money and it never happens. There is always something I want or need for reloading and nothing is cheep anymore

Yep,,,,,,,,,

You reload more cause you shoot more so it eats up you savings.

There are many reasons to reload. Mine was so I could shoot my Bersa Thunder 380 more. Mission accomplished.

Also, I reload because I like it, it's fun, its better than collecting stamps, building scale models of bridges out of toothpicks, or knitting.
