[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1801360, member: 1132"] You have to buy from the right vendors and buy in bulk. Group buys as stated are a great way to do it, particularly on powder and primers, so you can divvy up the haz-mat shipping fee. I pick up 9mm brass for free on the ranges I shoot at, so that's cheap. I order from Powder Valley and have them deliver to the Tulsa Arms Show, avoiding the haz-mat fee, pay in cash and it comes in really cheap. I can get 8# of Titegroup for $109. At 4.0 grains per round, that will load 14,000 rounds. That works out to $7.78 per 1,000 for powder. Winchester, Federal or CCI primers are $26 per 1,000. Montana Gold 115gr FMJ's are $305 per case of 4,000, or $76.25 per 1,000 (delivered). So, you could load up some very accurate, high quality reloads for about $110 per thousand, saving about $100 per thousand over lower quality WWB. The cool part is you can load JHP's for about $5 more per thousand. If you're willing to do plated bullets, you can load them for about $100 per thousand or less. All you have to do is find someone to split the orders with if you don't want to spend that much money out of pocket at one time. The added benefits are that you can tailor your load to your intended use and load for best accuracy out of your gun. So is it worth it? It is for me. [/QUOTE]
