I can reload by a Lee hand loader .38/.357, 9X18 Makarov, and 9mm. I had materials for all but the 9mm and had to hunt a long time to find some brass and 9mm bullets. I paid $200 for 500 brass casings and 400 Sig 124 grain vcrown JHP bullets.

I enjoy the 9x18 Makarov, it is one of the calibers I have set up for my progressive press. Every pull of the handle and another cartridge is ready to go. It is a little touchy to get the setup dialed in, but pays dividends when doing doing a large batch. I use have a mold that does 5 of the bullets that I use in that cartridge at a time as well. If I recall correctly I usually use about 3.5 grains of titegroup powder in each cartridge. I typically use 9x19mm brass that other people have left at the range and cut it down. So the actual amount of money that it costs me to reload a cartridge is barely more than the price of a pistol primer.
