Why Reload - COVID Pricing Update - October 2021

Due to the ammo and reloading supply shortages, the price of reloading supplies and ammo has increased substantially

The .45 Colt on the right is made from a 255grain bullet that I cast and costs (primer=$0.08, lead=$0.04, powder=$0.06) about $7.50 per box of 50 compared to >~$50 per 50 for commercial loads

For the 9mm Parabellum(Luger), the cost (primer=$0.08, hollow point bullet=$0.17 powder=$0.02) is about $13.50 per box of 50 compared to >~$40 per 50 for commercial hollow-point loads or >~$19 per 50 of FMJ loads.

For the 9mm Parabellum(Luger), the cost (primer=$0.08, Plated Flat Point Bullet=$0.10 powder=$0.02) is about $10.00 per box of 50 compared to >~$40 per 50 for commercial hollow-point loads or >~$19 per 50 of FMJ loads.
