My brass from my range is free, but even if you buy used they can be had for $.03. The bullet costs me $.003, primers at todays price is $0.07 (i recently got campro from Tesro for $60) powder for my load is $.02. Thats still $.12 a round. So my math isnt far off.
Whats a good price for 9mm 124 grain

A more realistic price for primers is 10 cents each, or more. The 6 cent primers get snapped up in minutes. Most people don't cast, so their bullet cost is going to be at least 10 cents. Again, prices from 10 years ago do not apply; your average lb of pistol powder these days is $60 or $70, and at 4+ grains per round, you're looking at 4 cents for powder. That's a 24+ cent 9mm, with range pick up brass.
Your math is way off if you're a new reloader, especially if you're not interested in casting your own bullets (I'm not, and never will be. I suspect the majority are in the same boat).
