What would you say is your total cost for that many rounds? 2K rounds estimate: $139.99 (8lbs) powder. You will have left over depending on your charge. $26.95 x 2 wolf primers $56.00 SS109 Mil. Spec 62 gr FMJSCBT w/c (500) $110.00 x Montana gold 55 gr (1000) $129.50 55 gr tracer (1000) You do the rest of the math + shipping and hazmat, unless you are getting powder and primer locally then you don't have to pay the hazmat fee:D |

So 2.1 x 2500 = $52.50 in primers Hitech again for the SS109s they were 7.5 cents each shipped Same again for the MGold I bought 2 years ago, damn they want up!!! $150 for the pictuered ammo $45 for the Tracers bought on the EE. So $195 for the bullets Free brass, free clips, $6 for the fat can. so $340.15 for 2,500 rds. Or 13.6 cents each |

It's probably a safe bet to say that the fire dept is going to call "controlled burn" if your place goes up, god forbid.

I do load .45 but I can't buy the same bullets that is used in the Winchester ammo. The +P nickel brass is hard to come by too. I don't shoot enough 9MM to make it wourth converting one of the S1050 over for it. I only have two guns in 9MM a Glock 34 and an UZI . I have never shot the UZI 
ETA I forgot about the Luger that would make 3 but I have never shot the LUGER either  My FIL left it to me when he died
