[QUOTE="Servant68, post: 71177745, member: 378436"] I went online and found the cheapest decent 165gr bullets on Midway at about $15 for 100. Selected them in my cart and the shipping was $8.50. So, it would cost me $23.50 for 100 cheap plinking bullets. I can go to my local Wal-Mart and buy the Hornady XTP 155gr hollow points which my XDS loves, for $22 per 100... Maybe if you buy in large quantities then the shipping cost evens out. But, brass costs me about $24 per 100. So, I have about $.60 per round in my XTP reloads (using fresh brass) and to buy a comparable defense round costs about $.85 a round. If I just buy cheap WWB FMJ 165gr, then it's around $.35 a round, and I get to reuse the brass. So it's nearly a wash for plinking ammo using produced bullets. Now, for my .45 Colt and my planned 10mm, it is a no-brainer. My BlackHawk loves cast boolits and store prices around here for the cheapest plinking ammo are $.70 a round. For the Buffalo Bore Had Cast that I have re-created with my 300gr hard cast boolits costs $1.60 a round in the store... [/QUOTE]
