In light of the tremendous deals being thrown out for black Friday for all the ammo, I decided to take a look at the cost to reload vs buying. I only reload to shoot paper so I know there are benefits for consistency and load matching to specific guns for competition and hunting that will sometimes outweigh the costs and in most cases it still is cheaper to reload vs buy. But with the deal at Academy on 350 9mm Remington for only $39.99 after rebate, I can't reload that cheap. It costs me $0.12 a round to load 9mm and I don't have a cost for brass since it is free range pick ups mainly. I also don't factor in my time as I enjoy sitting in the garage when I have time and chunk out a few hundred rounds. My numbers are based on the last time I bought the components so as I buy new the cost will fluctuate some, but still I think it's worth saving my SPP and powder for the higher costing calibers like .380 or 45 instead of using them on 9mm.
Just some insight that I thought could benefit the group.
