I'm sure its been answered before but I'm hungover and can't find what I'm looking for:p
I have a Ruger SR9 and Kel Tec Sub2K both in 9mm, so I'm thinking of getting into reloading. Cheapest factory amm I can buy locally is AE or CCI (115 & 124g) for $13.99 a box of 50.
I'm thinking of getting the Dillon Square D as I don't shoot rifle (Nor do I think I will).
I have tones of 9mm brass and just want to know where to get the cheapest components and a realistic cost break down for the bullets, powder and primer.
Thanks in advance from me and my aching head :redface:
 
Well google is your friend for a reloading cost calculator..

ht tp://www.handloads.com/calc/loadingCosts.asp

As far as components just look at
Budget Shooting supplies up in the sponsors list above..
or Reloaders.ca is another i deal with..

Its best to buy locally if you can as shipping just adds up ...

Recent prices i have paid
1000 124 gr Berrys bullets $100.00
1000 small pistol Primers.. $42.00
1 lb of powder $26.00 IMR 4756 for 9 mm

i use 5.0 grains of 4756 with a 124 grain bullet That is 1,400 rounds per pound of powder (give or take a few)

Just plug this into the calculator and you have your cost per 1000 and per 50 and per round..

Good Luck and buy a good reloading manual and read it.. before.. (to avoid any problems with potential hazards)

Since you live in Victoria, Budget Shooter Supply isn't too far from you and you can stop by for a pick up next time you're on the mainland.

My 9mm loads work out to be about $0.15 a round, using Hodgdon HP38/Winchester 231 (4.6gr), Berry's 124gr RN bullets, and CCI primers.
 
If loading for both, get 115 gr bullets, the sub 2000 prefers them. You can get 115gr Berrys anywhere from $77 - $99 per 1000, Primers $35 per 1000 powder as stated above. My reloads work out to $6 - 7.50 per box. Keep in mind, if you are doing it to save money, payback is around 5000 rounds so it depends how much you shoot. For me it made complete sense. You can use a powder like tightgroup and save a hair more as it uses about 4 gr rather than 5 of say, unique under a 124gr bullet, although powder costs next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. If you have to get components shipped, it will add to costs, so keep that in mind

$50 for 1000 124gr lead rn (from cgn, purchased 6000)
$35 for 1000 primers (local store)
$28 for powder (local store, TG)
Brass is free

works out around $5.15 including taxes for 50 rounds.
 
Thanks guys! Seems like living on the West coast is a bonus when it comes to reloading supplies :)
So I've started hinting to my wife that I'd like the Dillon Square D for my birthday in Feb. I'll definitely hit up one of the Vancouver shops for reloading components
 
Wow some of you guys are paying a lot for Small pistol primers.
A few months ago I bought CCi's for $27.50/1000 when buying 5000 instead of $28.95
And I just bought S&B small pistol primers yesterday on a Christmas special for $26.00/ 1000 when purchasing 5000
Regular price $29.99/1000.

No online shopping but they do ship.
They have most Dillon in stock and Zero and Cam-Pro bullets among other things.
No P Mags left though or .224 bullets like everywhere else.
