Where can I get the Cheapest Projectiles

[TFA777]

Rmr bullets, summitcity bullets and the blue bullets are all good choices

It blows me away when folks state that they 'pay' themselves to reload.
I suppose that you 'pay' yourself to watch TV, relax in the hammock, or take a drive too.
Dumb.

I'm almost exclusively 9mm, but I've been using Berry's Bullets for years. They're inexpensive as projos go, and at 25 yards, they go exactly where I put 'em. More accurately, I've gotten 2 inch shot groups using them and I've done it out of 4 separate pistols and I can hit an 18" plate at better than 50 yards, if my contacts or glasses aren't giving me issues.

Those are good bullets, and affordable.

To be fair, I bought most of what I have for a lot less in the past. The major issue is shippin g all of that weight.

I'm curious, though. Examples of much less? Where might I find FMJs for less than $60-$70 per 1000?

Oh yes, that I definitely know. They are really expensive now. I was buying 3-5 years ago at every gun show. Far more than I thought I'd ever shoot so I have quite a few at pre-pandemic prices.

Mixing past with present.

American reload has a sale on pulled 115/124.
3k for a little over 100

Those mixed bag bullets from AR definitely ar cheapest... But what a pain in the ***! Even the same weight bullets aren't the same profile.

You can get summit 124's for $60-70/k shipped. It's hard to beat that price, and they're excellent quality. Just hold out for the 20% off + free ship coupons they seemingly always run.

At 4 cents each, I don't really care too much and don't separate the profiles. They all shoot just fine. They're not match a bullet, but they group pretty well as my AR

Not really...I can still get them sub-$100 per 1000. Not as cheaply as before and the deals are hard to find, but I buy when I see them.

So when someone wants to buy your reloads the tune I believe would quickly change if they said they'd just pay for cost of supplies...
Again, any spare time with family or other tasks I'd want to spend it with quality and dedication, not distracted or "multi tasked".
I think the argument is everyone has their tolerance for how self reliant they want be and how to spend their time. One can probably learn to smelt steel to make sheet metal, tap a rubber tree to make tires and refine oil to gasoline for plastic, but most people just buy a car and pump their own gas.

LOL. I once calculated the cost of all the ducks I shot in one season. I should not have done that.

I don't even want to think about the cost per pound of the doves and quail that I have taken.

First I would say as an individual you should not be selling your reloads to begin with, right? Secondly (in the past) Ive often bought reloaed ammo as components below the price of components for obvious reasons. But if your some kind of company selling reloads and have the cost of doing business in this state then of course you charge and I'm sure some people will pay, maybe even me.
Your right. Some people can multi task, some can't and some probably shouldn't. And if free time isn't an option for you then casting and many other things are probably not for you.
Now again we're talking about a very easy task of casting, powder coating (or lubing) and sizing. To end up with the cheapest projectiles possible. No one needs to reinvent the wheel to do this but hey some people just believe a simple task is beyond them and that's ok too.
You should have brought up selling boolits instead of selling ammo. I know a lot of people who would pay for the correctly sized boolit of a specific profile and weight. Think of all those milsurplus rifles and discontinued calibers. After all nothing wrong with selling paper weights.
Happy reloading

Doves might be the exception for me. I live close to BLM land, and so my dove spot is about 4 miles from my house. All it costs me is ammo (that I reload), and some gas for the ATV.
