We shoot a lot of 9mm so reloading saves us some money. But we cast our own bullets.
While reloading 9mm might not save you money right now, it will lead to reloading other caliber so the saving will increase.
I think we are reloading about 10 different pistol calibers and 8 different rifle. The best part is tailoring the load for the gun. Take 223 for example, the load for my AR is totally different than the load for my bolt gun
I can load a box of warm 9MM rounds for well under 2 bucks for 50 rounds using my own cast bullets.. For some to say its not worth it, maf's must be really hard.
But remember, time is money. Time spent acquiring lead, sorting it from the chaff, melting it down, casting it, maybe powder coating it because you shoot a Glock, etc. That time aint free. It does have a real cost.
We only load 9 for specialty rnds... For example, 147gr pull downs or 100 gr mouse farts. Otherwise buy cheap stack 'em deep.
How much per round can you get 9mm fmj down to? Ive been hesitant to reload, seems tedious and complicated with all the different powders and primers etc.
