9mm Ammo

[drgroove101]

Just curious what people are paying for 9mm ammo. I'm in Ontario and get wolf ammo 124gr for $15.25 which is the least expensive stuff I could find. It shoots good, no issues with my glock or sig.

HSM ammo, commercial reloads from USA.... 115gr $254 per 1k

I paid $300.00 for 1200 rounds of Combat Masters (Canadian BDX) 9mm, 124gr. Works out to $12.50 per 50 rounds.

Primers $40
Powder $20
Bullets $100-120
Brass $30 (or free 'cuz I've got tons)
My cost $160-$210

I buy reloads for $180 for 1,000 if I provide the brass.

Did you factor in your time? My time is worth $$$ .

Does 1200 rounds an hour, essentially hands free work for you? Granted, it took $3500 worth of tooling to get there, but amortized over the 20-30 years or more it should last me, it's not much.

Also, I don't load simply to save money. I load because I need ammo that delivers. I need accurate ammo, at a narrow PF range. I need ammo when I need it, not when it happens to be in stock. I don't want to be wasting time at the range sighting in or getting used to the flavour of the week. I also need clean burning ammo, because some weekends I double book matches, and can't clean the beast while driving.

i pay 8 bucks a box for lead or 9 for jacketed + 3$ deposit for brass per box.

Factory Sellier & Bellot 124-grain roundnose FMJ from sponsor SFRC cost me $312 for a thousand, including GST and freight. Best deal I could find anywhere for a thousand boxer-primed, jacketed 124s in virgin brass.

Thanks guys, looks like there are better deals out there! (besides getting into reloading.. I live in an apartment so it makes that tough)

Your own reloads will be cheaper, thou you do have to invest into equipment.
Loading plated 115-124gr bullets with free brass comes to about $160/1000 on average for me.

 

[Bakercakes]

I pay $13.99 per box of fifty. (124 grain)

Nice, I'm close to Mississauga where do you get this deal from if you don't mind me asking ?

It is looking like reloading is the way to go?!?

Argh, those "driving while distracted" laws have no end!!!

 

[Rivalen]

I get all my stuff from SFRC, haven't found anything locally...

It costs me $75 per 1000 to reload with my own cast lead. The time investment is nominal and easy to justify on a decent progressive press and a 6 cavity mould. The side benifit is it's a process I really enjoy as a true extenstion of the shooting sport when I am not actually on a range. For all you naysayers that say my time is worth more that maybe so but unfortunately we don't all make $50-100+/hour to make the same comparison.
