Precision Delta at is at .25 per round. Not counting cost of brass I load coated lead wadcutters for less than .10 per round. If you look around gun shows and gunbroker, you can find .38 brass for around .02-.03 per round so loading is still half price or better Another neat thing about a revolver, its real easy to save your brass. With light loads, you should get 15 or so loadings out of brass before it cracks or the primer pocket wears out. If you shoot a lot, it won't take long to pay for a press and then you can tailor make rounds to suit a particular gun. You will be amazed at how different bullet weights and powder charges can change the accuracy in a handgun. Might not be as much as a target rifle at 500 yards, but different loads can make a noticeable difference in handguns as well. Until this virus crap hit, it was not really practical to load 9mm or .556, but with the prices of ammo going up and most suppliers have just announced another 5% increase ,reloading is becoming more attractive for 9mm and .556 as well. I haven't loaded .45 acp since the late 70's, but I ran across my dies recently and I'm going to go ahead and knock out 1k just to have. Another advantage to loading, you can stock up on components and even if there is not a huge price savings, you can always have ammo and most of the time it is better quality than the bulk stuff you get off the shelf.
