SORRY Chris, we shouldn't be posting reload on CA board so get us cheap 9mm and we won't need to reload 
For just 9mm get a cheap Lee press for several hundred bucks. It is only 9mm, don't need a fancy press.
Your numbers are way too high across the board.
Brass is FREE from my range. Majority of folks throw away their 9mm brass.

This is what I had wrote in another thread
So I can pick up 1000 rounds of reloaded 9mm for $234... taxes $28.08...shipping roughly $20.00 so my all in on 1000 rounds is $282.08
No if I want to relaod 9mm
$99 for 1000 Berry bullets
$40 for 1000 primers
$40 for a 1lb opf powder
$181...taxes $21.72...shipping say $20.00 so my all in is $222.72
So my savings over 1000 rounds is $59.36...over 5000 rounds thats a difference of $296.80
So factoring in my upgraded press and gear of around $800 its going to take roughly 3 years to pay itself off...just the gear...and I'm still sitting in front of the press using up my time. I'm thinking for 5000 rounds a year my time reloading is worth more then $300.
Now with my son wanting to get into the game the cost is going to go up...so I'm really on the fence here. It would be nice to just order up 5000 rounds of quality 9mm reloaded ammo...Damn I'm seriously over thinking this...

If you add in the cost of replacing the brass periodically, the savings go down yet again. You are looking at about $35+tax for 1000 once fired 9mm casings. Thanks for sharing the nice write-up Outcast.
