I'm in Gulfport so you are more than welcome to check out my set up. I am one that has re-couped the money spend on all my equipment. Since my Wife and I both shoot .40 I load that the most. Here are my costs broke down. This is per round.

Powder--$.008-Bullseye at $13.75/lb and 4.2gns per round.
Primer--$.035-CCI at $35/1000
Bullet--$.-63-$63 for 1k 180gn lead RN
Brass--$.035-Since I have bought some for $35 per 1k

That come to $.141/ round and thats $7 per 50 rounds. Cheapest .40 I can find is $16/50 for federal at Wally world. And after I have shot over 10k I think I have paid for the equipment but I am never done getting supplies.

Kevin, if you're bored one day shoot me a PM and you can come check out my setup and even borrow one of my books.

Thanks. MS45 gave me his number so after I move over to Ocean Springs I am gonna give him a yell. But I would like to come over one day and see your setup also. I will take all of the advice I can get.

Haha, yeah the house we are about to move in is a 3 bedroom house, although one of the bedrooms is kinda small. So my plans are is to take over that room and turn it into my “War Room” where I am gonna set up my xbox, computer, and also keep all of my guns and ammo. Hopefully soon if I decide to start reloading my own ammo I may also put my loading equipment in there.
