I handloaded pistol many years ago when 9mm and .357 was >20 cents/round. Then the price on ammo dropped. A couple of years ago I had to take up handloading again to support my daughter as she competed in High Power Rifle. First thousand rounds paid for the reloading setup. And the long distance ammo is longer than magazine length and really must be sized for the individual rifle. Commercial 80 grain .223 is about $1/round and isn't as good as what I can make.
