About 120.00/1000 with my cast bullets. Maybe less.

CPR about .12-.13 (not counting brass);
Normausa.com spp's .0535 (including tax)
Titegroup powder typically under .02
American Reloading (not a fan right now) projos can frequently be had for .05'ish when in stock
Scratch that.. Hadn't looked at ammo seek for sometime. Seems I can get new for $9-$10/box plus shipping! Looks like I'll be ordering some soon!
OK. So you're saving about 1/3 of the price if you can reload for $.12/rd, and can buy new for ~$.18 rd. Thanks. I was just curious, b/c when I looked into it years ago, the price between reload and buy new in bulk was very close for 9mm.
I just load it because I like to load ammo. And I like to have a crap ton of it. Saving a couple bucks is just a small bonus.

12.5 cents a round 124 grain JHP. Not what everyone is pricing cheap (115 to 124 grain FMJ).
With the price of primers, the only benefit to reloading 9mm is to get custom stuff you cant get elsewhere. I strongly prefer plated target flat points for competition because it makes the shots easier to call. Punches clean holes almost as good as a wadcutter, there is no jacketing to splinter and fly back at me when I shoot steel, etc.
Now if I could find those bullets loaded in bulk, I'd probably buy instead of reloading.

just curious, what is the typical price for once fired 9mm brass? is it worth picking up and saving at the range? myself i only have dies for .44mag.

I've just been reloading heavy rounds for suppressor fun. I use to do basic 115gr for fun, and still do when I have time or see cheap bullets. Though a lot of people say you can just buy cheap factory bulk, there's still some concerns with that since a lot of cheap/bulk manufacturers are newer and less reputable. I've seen split cases, backwards primers, under change, even no charge. Some of these new ammo companies seem like a bunch of people in a garage with a few progressive presses.
Anywhere from 2 to 3 cents a case
People buy 9mm brass? Never did myself. I just pick it when I find it. Have several thousand.

The only time I bought any was when a friend passed away and there was kind of an estate sale. I say kind of because his wife knew he had a tight group of friends and let us buy whatever at cost. I took a hit, way about the 2 - 3 cents, but it was all going to a 529 for his recently born daughter so I couldn't be too upset.

i probably have a couple thousand as well, (just some ziplock bags full). i only picked it up to not be a slob where i am shooting.
Cheapest 9mm right now is 24 cpr

A range east of Nashville, TN saved their brass, sorted, tumbled, bagged 100 for $3 for common pistol, $5 for 44 Rem, 45 Colt and rifle. The big sellers were 38spl, 357 mag, 45 auto. Once per month steel, aluminum and non selling brass was sold for scrap. I haven't been there since 2012.
Of these 6 buckets I got 1 quart steel, 1 quart aluminum, 15-300 BO, 5 lb 11 oz 40 S&W, 3 lb 10 oz 45 auto, 3 lb 4 oz 38spl, 34-44 rem, 34-357, 34-45 colt, 1 quart-380 auto, 2 quarts 22's, 17's, some not ID'd and bent brass. The rest is 9mm brass and bronze. A lot of sorting for very little good stuff.

This ^^^.
I reload 147gr berry's with enough push to make a 133 PF. The recoil impulse is straight back and I can get back on target much faster. I am never as quick shooting 115s. (I have some 124s, but I need to work on those loads a bit more.)
