Not sure how many grains of powder a .45 bullet uses so lets say you need 1.5lbs of powder for 1000 bullets. 1000 bullets of .45 is about $100 shipped. and then a box of 1000 primers is $30-35 bucks. So your looking at 100+45+35 = $180 for 1000 bullets which is a little under $10/100. This of course is not including the beer and food you'll consume by making the bullets.

im with ya up to the last statement! everyone ive talked to said do NOT drink while reloading... something about impaired judgement and inconsistent loads haha
