Handgun reloading bullets prices

[kbuc nw]

I've been a rifle reloaded for decades, but just getting set up for reloading pistol rounds (45 and 9mm so far)
My question is what is a reasonable price for bulk bullets?
I've been seeing them show up on the shelves again but the price seems a little steep. I have ammo so I am not desperate, but would like to start collecting everything. I have plenty of brass and primers.

Give these a shot....Punny!....

Hornady, Berry's, Sierra, Speer, & More Pistol Bullets

At Midsouth Shooters Supply, we offer pistol bullets from great brands like Hornady, Berry's, Sierra, and more. Get affordable bullets for reloading here.

I'm guessing these aren't the top quality of Montana Gold that go for the same price pretty much. But considering you'd be luckey to snag MG, these should work fine.

I'm just starting w/ 9mm reloading and I'm seeing $0.11-12 for quality plated (Berry's). The
'BlueBullets' polymer are around $0.075 each. I'm an engineer so of course I have a spreadsheet . Also realizing that when the cost of factory 9mm is around $0.20-25 or so, it's really not an economic 'win' to reload 9mm.

I use the Midwayusa as a reference, They aren't the cheapest but have a great variety. Then I look for the deals that are "better than Midway".

great prices and free shipping

Free shipping over orders of over $130 that is. But still good prices.

Went with DGbullets for 9mm coated lead. Was roundabout $.075 per bullet, shipping factored in. Went with them as they were shipping relatively quickly, while other folks had backlogs of weeks to months. Not much of a price difference to matter.

-Note: Now DG has a hold on all orders due to a bad batch of coating-

Anyways, figure around $.08 per for coated 9mm up to 124/125grain seems reasonable in this market.

Plated goes up a bit, however coated works just fine. May actually be better, depending upon the application (shooting steel closer in, as an oversimplified example).

Those polymer bullets sparked my interest. I'll have to see if there are any reviews on them.

I'm just looking for ammo for target practice, no competition shooting so anything that cycles well will work.
those prices were what I thought they should be. I saw some AMMO bulk bullets that the price was 22 cents. Which didnt seem that much of a deal

My loads that I make with the Blue Bullets are very popular with my customers.

Those polymer bullets sparked my interest.

I recently bought a pack of a 100 .38 & .45 ACP cal to try. Clean to handle, accurate and no reside.

They also chamber smoother in the 1911 & lever action .357 rifle.

When seating them there is virtually no resistance!

I just go with Xtreme for plinkers. Even when ammo is available at cheaper prices I still prefer to reload for consistency.

This makes no sense.

Just under 11 cents isn't bad. Didn't know there was a manufacturer in Lebanon.

Whatever xtremebullets.com is charging for their plated is a good price. Esp if you wait for free shipping day to come round.
