Try Kead bullets. I have had good results with his cast .357, .41, and .45 bullets. He also makes a specific bullet for the .41 AE, and his prices are reasonable.

Where is this?
When I took my new Cz on its maiden shooting trip yesterday, I was (I think) the first one at the range that morning, and as is now typical at that range (a state-run handgun range in PA), I found, with fairly careful range pacing, 4 9mm shells, 3 .45ACPs, and 2 .40s. Nowadays, even the .22 shells are worth collecting, to the people who drive by to scavenge (mostly for recycling, though I think some are reloaders).
In fact, when I'm scavenging, nowadays I'll frequently grab the .22 shells, too -- they're not (though it's possible) going *down* in value, and when they're off the ground, it's easier to spot the others

I'm jealous of you folks being able to pick up brass at the range. Where my dad and I shoot we're not allowed
It seems the range owner picks up some and resales it. Tho when I pick up my brass it seems to multiply

my range is pretty good- no diving in the brass buckets, those are for sale to sponsor the youth leagues. anything on the ground is fair game.
At the indoor/outdoor pistol club that I am VP of you may take any brass you want to reload, but don't take it to sell, that is in poor taste. If it's there for long we take it to the scrap yard to sell it ourself. Also the lead that we take out of the traps is availible for casters (800lbs 4 times a year) but also not to sell, we get that too. We have 8 PDs that train and qualify here, so some times there is a LOT of brass.
Depends. Are you an ammo glutton? I like to have at least 1000 rounds on hand for most of my guns.
The other thing is the type of round and weapon. Are you a blaster or bullseye guy? If you only shoot 20 rounds per range trip (belted magnums, .500S&W mag, .50 BMG) you probably only need 100-200 cases.
You also can save $$$ by buying in bulk, both ammo or brass. The benefit of buying ammo for the brass is that you know it's good brass. You'll know it really is 1x fired, not 8x fired. You'll know it's not military brass fired in a loose-chambered machine gun.
I'm starting to reload for .45 ACP. I plan on buying at least 1000 1x cases. I also have 1000 rounds of brand new .223 Federal waiting to be shot.
