If "handloading saves money"- I wish someone would let my credit card bill know! It's apparently unaware..
I find reloading to be a rewarding hobby on it's own, that just happens to support another hobby. Yeah, I save money per box, and depending on caliber sometimes a lot of money, but the satisfaction of creating reliable accurate ammo customized to the firearm is very rewarding.
Probably has been.
But Cabalas has it today for about $10 bucks a box.
100 9mm jackets bullets are about $20 or more per 100.
Add primers & powder, and pretty soon you are not saving money.
You are spending money to reload the same ammo.

AMEN.If I don't count my time, reloading saves some money. More importantly, it lets me make what I want when I want/need it. It's the same with fly tying.
If your only consideration is financial impact, I suggest that it would make more sense to take a part time job during the holidays. That money will easily be more than the price differential of factory vs hand loads for the casual shooter.
Rc probably hasnt priced 9mm ammo since '78Were do you find 9mm for $10 a box of 50?? Is that with tax or shipping? What brand?
Sorry RC, couldn't resist.
