Those smart enough to buy ammo cheap also don’t shoot .40. Not at normal price and definitely not at $0.60/rd.
Run what you got - room for everyone at the range (minus the funds, no one likes a fudd)
Reloading is the best way to have what you need one hand whenever you want it.
I might grab a 40 simply because I don't have one but have several thousand cases.
I used to reload but I ain't got time for that.... I didn't really find it to be any cheaper either.... Unless you assign a 0.00 dollar value to your time.... Then maybe you save a couple of pennies per round...
If you're not loading 2000 rds and getting the third 1000rd case free you're f***ing up bigly somewhere. That's more than a few pennies.I used to reload but I ain't got time for that....

Not sure if serious you will always save money reloading or at least you'll get an extra thousand rounds of ammo for the same amount of money you would have spent on commercial ammo the formula virtually never changes... the only way you can argue against it is if you're not shooting sufficient enough annual volume to even get there....if you're johnny 1000 rds a yr, reloading will never make sense. On the other hand, reloading scales with volume, although for some cartridges the benefits are instantly realized.. for example pretty much any large revolver cartridge is immediate payback.....Right now, sure. But under normal times, when as you prior said - 9mm can be had for well under 20.00 a box.... reloading is hard to justify. Now if you enjoy it - sure. But if you're doing it to save money.... Not so much.

All of the above.Has the manufacturing price gone up, is it just supply and demand rape?
Yes, but even that is getting hit, or at least the market has reacted to it.40 is good for panic buying as it’s the last caliber to sell out since so few people want it

Look who is laughing now biaches...
How is that 9mm treating you right now?
Sorry, just looking to stir the pot.... It's not my fav either, but at least I can shoot it right now...

.40 shooters are like left-handed people.
Evil beasts.
Lol. My wife likes her .40. She is left handed, and most certainly evil.
May God have mercy on your soul<---- Is left handed, and shoots .40.
