Whats a good deal or average cost for 9mm bullets,primers and powder?

bullets run from about $40 per 500, powder about $20 pound but varies by brand, primers about $30 per 1000, again big difference by brand.

primers by the case are the way to go, I usually pay about 23.50 per 1000 shipped, bullets, I pretty much make all my own pistol bullets, lead and I shoot them out of glocks :twisted:

Glocks + lead = who knows? This pretty much covers all angles:

Me, I don't load lead for our glocks, but then none of them see a huge round count. If they saw 5-10,000 rnds a year then I would have to rethink that, but then if I shot a glock that often I would probably have an aftermarket barrel in it anyway.

Tula KV-762N (berdan 7.62 NATO) and likely Large Pistol (any boxer brand) when you get around to ordering. Just keep me informed, I'll clarify what I can afford at that time.

I already have a metric crap-ton of primers, but I might be inclined to order bullets & brass if that's A-OK by you guys. :)

We should have a general reloading component group buy. I need small pistol primers, bullseye powder, and some plated bullets. I haven't worked up the balls yet to shoot my lead rounds from the Glock 17.

I really don't understand the $27.50 hazmat fee on powder and primers kinda retarded if you ask me. Like that $27.50 you spend minimizes any risk for UPS. Plus your limited to 8lbs of powder or 5000 primers for $27.50 charge. Then you have to pay another $27.50 if you wanna order more then that.
