Anyone? Anywhere? Maybe someone not charging $1.50+/round.

slumpychuck,
At the risk of stating the OBVIOUS, .45ACP is VERY EASY & CHEAP to handload, using cast RN or SWC bullets & an number of CHEAP powders like UNIQUE, BULLSEYE, etc.
(At the last SATX Gun Show 2 vendors had 200-230 grain cast bullets by the hundred & for not much more than 2-3X the cost of lead scrap.)
SIX grains of UNIQUE behind a 230 grain LRNCB works WELL for both "casual shooting" & for SD, too.
There are a GREAT NUMBER of GOOD/USED & perfectly suitable single-stage reloading presses around & available for 50 bucks or less.
(A friend here in SATX bought a LEE "C" press with a suitable set of .45ACP dies & the LEE data book for 40 bucks at a recent garage sale.)
just my OPINION, satx

Problem there is if a person isn't already set up for reloading, it's pretty much cost prohibitive to get into reloading right now.
Then factor in trying to get reloading components like powder and primers, and that is assuming he has the cases for reloading.
gll,
My NEXT major purchase will be about 10,000 primers & a couple of 8-pound jugs of powder. = That will last me a LONG time.
Cases in the calibers that I have firearms for, I have PLENTY of to last me the rest of my life.
Scrap lead & bar solder for PBCB & GCCB will be around, if I need any more of either,.
yours, satx
Yep. Primers are $200 per thousand right now.Better dig deep in your wallet because that's going to be expensive as hell.

I just took delivery of 250 brass 230grn RN FMJ. $203.00 TTL and delivered to the front door.
Do the math. 8# of powder will load 11,200 rounds at a 5 gr charge and assuming zero waste. Balance your inventory. You'll need more primers if you're loading pistol ammo with that powder. If you're loading for rifles you might be good.
