Correct me if my math is off...but $.25/round?  50,000 of 'em...

Theoretically, yeah if you could get a dozen or so people together this wouldn't be a bad idea.  But in reality this is not a good deal for either end users or retailers.  As an end user, why would I put up that much capital for reloads at 25 cents per?  (And how much is shipping on top of that?)  I can get factory ammo for 28 cents while having to spend much less money (this morning at Walmart I bought 250 rounds UMC for $70 with tax).  And if I'm a retailer, like a gun shop owner, I don't think this would be a good investment unless I knew I could sell each round for at least 30 cents each.  I don't know what the profit margin is for things like ammunition, but the price of ammo has been steadily going down this year.  I sure wouldn't buy a 9 mil reload at 30 cents, probably not even 25.  This "deal" they've got really doesn't add up.  Wholesale volume but at retail prices.

I haven’t bought any 9mm in over 20 years, is $64 for a 250 round bulk pack a good deal on reloaded ammo?

I don't know if it's a good deal or not, as I too reload 9mm at less than $.15 / round...usually $.11 or $.12, depending on the cost/type of primers. If only I cast my own, the savings would obviously be greater.

 

That said, I did a quick search and that does appear to be the going price for 9mm reloads.

 

A shooting buddy of mine recently had some feeding issues with 115 gr JRN Freedom Munitions in his Glock 19...the leading edge of the jacket would kind of peal back and wrinkle...it happened maybe twice out of 200 rounds. I've never had that happen with WWB, Remington Bulk, Wolf, Tula or my own handloads. Could have been a freak issues... :shrug:

 

 

 

Great points from Stegall Law Firm. :up:
