We were buying it by the pallet at about $2 a box so reloading never made economic sense to me. I can't imagine that reloading 9mm would be much cheaper than 20 cents a round. When I was shooting several times a week I reloaded .38 and .45ACP and the .38 was about 2 cents a round. There was an IBM guy who cast wadcutters from wheel weights he scrounged up and sold them for a penny apiece. It was cheaper if you could barter some lead into the deal. I ended up scrounging lead too ;-) For sure that's cheap. Primers were less than a penny apiece in those days and a pound of Bullseye was a virtual lifetime supply at 2.5 gr a shot. My DC cop buddy kept me stocked with once fired .38 brass in exchange for rolling up hot loads for him. We ended up with some scary fast stuff. I had a 125gr round that came out at 1725 FPS on the DC chronograph. It was really meant for a .357s but he shot them from his model 10 Smith service revolver. I don't do enough shooting to get into the reload side of the house, and I expect it would cost a bit more now anyway. Sounds like you had fun, though. Shame my two retired cop brothers aren't still in the business! |

Shame my two retired cop brothers aren't still in the business! I've never tried TulAmmo, but I have tried some Russian ammo and some of it has been lousy in terms of leaving behind dirty residue and in a couple of cases, looking slightly different in size than what I have found to be more reputable ammo. On the other hand, most of the ammo I have seen from former Sov Bloc states has been okay. Is the Tul you bought steel cased? |
