$.75 to $1.50 depending on type. A box (20) of CorBons for my .454 cost about $30+. Not you typical gangbanger ammo.

It is MUCH cheaper to reload. You can probably reload the .50 S&W for $0.15 to $0.50 each depending on the bullet you use.

Depends on whether you want match ammo or ball.

You can get 750 - 800 gr. match ammo off the shelf for about $4.75 a round.
You can buy 650 gr. ball ammo off the Web for about $2.00 a round.
If you have the brass you can reload for less than $1.00 a round.
