No not yet. Bought another case of 9 for $300 bit ago. Really did not need it yet but tend to want to keep a good supply. Even at that price I don''t make time to roll. Just too many other things going on with the worker shortage. If they do manage to get a decent crash going here that would be the one upside. We should finally be able to fill open positions again so I can take some damn time off
Considering that Bi-Mart refuses to publicly say anything negative about measure 114, don't think I'll be going there again for any reason in the future.I now and then will quickly look around, always just end up going back to order from them. I have long been willing to pay a little more though for the ease of having the stuff brought to my door. If they ever build a BiMart in my town now that might get me to go to a store for ammo again. Now and then I look at their ads and the damn place looks like it would be great to have one close by. Looks like the kind of place I would walk into looking to buy a case of ammo and end up walking out with a lot of other things I suddenly found I "needed"
Yep - I never really understood this but to each his own.
I'd just started loading in late 2011. When Sandy Hook came along, I learned!
We used to see threads here and on other forums posing this question. My sense of pre-Covid era, many people thought this way. I've reloaded 9mm for decades, sometimes wondered why. I still do but don't shoot all that much these days. When ammo dries up, it's good to be able to so long as you can find the components. I had a lot of older stuff around, just waiting for when I got the time, energy and reason to put it together as finished cartridges. Not as much of it around now, since I banked up some 9mm reloads lately. I've given several hundred rounds of my reloads away to an ammo impoverished shooter I know.
I am super new to this, but if there is a tutorial you like, I love to read about itI call it "Frugal".To your face anyway.
When I started reloading in late 2011 people told me they didn't bother loading 9mm. Free brass is free! I wasn't going to listen. $5.00 saved is still $5.00 saved! No one laughs now.
CHEERS Mark!
Well, one has to have the blanks from shooting to reload right? (or not?)
I went to The Place to Shoot - they said they do not allow remanufactured/reloaded stuff, but I will double check.
A rule like that is normally for insurance reasons and likely cause someone did something stupid.
I think I would find a better place to shoot!
This looks nice but too lazy to create an account to determine shipping cost. Anyone know shipping to PDX average?

You can get new unused virgin brass to load as well or get used brass from someone else.
Find someone near you from this board and go over to reload some with them. It's not super hard but does take someone who will pay attention to what they are doing. There is tons of info online and picking up a used reloading manual from someone is one of the better ways to start.I am super new to this, but if there is a tutorial you like, I love to read about it
shipping is $29 a case. So call it $330 delivered which means you are paying to much.
I came here to recommend SuperVel as well. Their ammo has been great for me, and they've gone out of their way to not gouge during the pandemic when everyone else was. They've also been LOWERING their prices lately when everyone else is increasing them. Not to mention they offer a BYOP(Bring your own primer) program allowing you to get loaded ammo when components were not easy to come by. 10/10 would recommend doing business with them if you can't find what you need at a LGS.
