I am looking at buying a handgun in the near future and I'll probably start with a 9mm. But as yous know when you get a new gun, might as well buy dies, powder, primers, bullets ect. at the same time. How cheap can you go to reload this caliber? thanks

With free range brass, cheaper powder with lower gr load per round and plated bullets (lead will be cheaper) it cost me ~ 16c a round (after taxes and such).
 
9mm reloading

might want to consider this option- canadianbdx.com
199.00 per 1000. - makes his own bullets.
I did the math and it works for me. i think you get 9.00/ 1000 credit for returning the brass. High quality ammo from a high quality guy.
I could not justify loading my own at that rate. jacketed bullets and great accuracy.

The reasons I went with reloading:

1) I load to my liking as far as powder, primer, power factor, OAL, bullet;
2) loading multiple calibers;
3) some savings I can now see after I loaded 7K+ rounds of diff calibers (9mm, .40S&W and .45 ACP).

I can always buy either factory or reloaded ammo if I wish or need to as well.
 
I'm reloading 9mm for about 6.50-7.00/50. But I also reload .45 and as soon as I get my dies .38 sp as well. As for 9mm, you should buy some factory first and make sure you want to continue shooting 9 before you buy all the components. I went through 1000 factory and kept all the brass before I started reloading.
