Re: Cheap .45 ACP Target/Ball Ammo?
Reloading jacketed bullets for 45acp is stupid. Velocities shouldn't come close to lead up the barrel, so you are pissing your money away needlessly. The last time I bought 200gr LSWC's they cost me 6˘ a piece. Primers I'll price at 3.5˘ a piece and powder at about 1.5˘ a round. So, a conservative estimate for my reloading is $5.50 for a box of 50. The ppl I really for sorry for are 44mag shooters who don't reload. Before the craze prices were around 80˘ a piece retail after tax, I have no idea what they go for now.

Re: Cheap .45 ACP Target/Ball Ammo?
I also started reloading my .50 for the desert eagle. when prices hit +$2 a shot, i broke down and bought the dies. every time I shot it, i thought to myself, there goes a beer. now I have it down to about .40 a round, and that was with buying some brass, so it will even get cheaper as I go.

I have been casting and/or staging my own for the last few years...that really brings the cost per box down (just a primer and powder....about $2.50/50).

Re: Cheap .45 ACP Target/Ball Ammo?
Actually, I bought some earlier this year for that price. Maybe that is "back in the day" for you, but it's not long ago for me.
Edit: after a quick search of vendors I've done business with, I found this for around 10˘ a piece delivered.
Clever analogy. After checking, my supplier recently bumped up his prices(as it states on the page I'm about to link) http://www.mastercastbullets.com/productpricelist.html
for the soft-cast lead bullets he sold and I bought, but only by about 1.5˘ a piece. I tried recently to put an order in with him, but he must be swamped.Last edited by Sparxfly72; August 12th, 2013 at 08:37 AM.

Try selwayarmory looks like they have about twelve boxes of Silver Bear left at $18.45 per box of 50.

Cabela's has Herter's Brass .45 ACP in stock right now for $22.
It's made by Sellier and Bellot in Czech. I've had great luck with it, clean and accurate.
