Yes the projectile is the expensive part. I just finished pressing out all of my 357 Magnum cases with 158gr HydraShok projectiles. I only have about 170 cases so they are all loaded to what Federal considers the optimum speed for maximum expansion. I have just over 22 cents per round tied up in these. My plinking/target loads are about 10 cents per round and they are hot 38+P rounds in 38 Special cases. I have about two and a half gallons of 38Spl brass.

On another note, besides toilet paper finding ammo or guns in stock is getting a bit difficult. Prices on used guns are also way up. I have a Glock 26, Baby Glock, 9mm I put on Armslist yesterday. I had it priced about where the other listings of G26's and got a hit in less than 4 hours. I have had this gun for 6 years and shot about 400 rounds through it. I can't hit anything 20 feet with any consistency so it was basically a belly gun too be used up close. It doesn't take much more to carry my full size G37 that I can get all 10 shots in a 4 inch circle at 25 yards.
