I don't want to rain on your parade but you won't be able to get very much for your reloads. Walmart sells jacketed ammo for about 5.50 a box. So maybe three or four dollars a box. I hope you have liability insurance and a manufacturers license from ATF.

I LOADED UP A COUPLE OF BOXES OF 124GR. HOMECAST 9MM LUGER AMMO TODAY. I'M WONDERING WHAT I SHOULD GET FOR EM. I CAST THE BULLETS, LUBRISIZED THE BULLETS, AND LOADED EM INTO ONCE FIRED BRASS A GOT FROM MIDWAY.I'VE GOT SOME TIME IN THEM (NOT THAT MY TIME IS WORTH MUCH) BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WOULD A GUY ASK FOR THEM AT A GUN SHOW OR FROM A NEIGHBOR OR WHAT EVER. I DO SUGGEST THAT THEY BE ONLY USED AS PLINKING OR PRACTICE AS I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE IF ONE SHOULD FAIL SOMEHOW. I'VE NEVER HAD A LOAD I MADE NOT GO BOOM AT THE RIGHT TIME BUT THERES ALWAYS A CHANCE.
thanks for the replies guys... i guess maybe i'll just keep em around just in case TSHTF and i can get my hands on a 9 mm pistol somewhere. there's a gun show here next weekend and i should tryt to get there an get another 1000 primers. i've got lots more cases and bullets an powder but i'm almost out of primers. i have somewhere 2000 rounds of .357 .38 spl. loaded up an thats what i'll use if worse comes to worse.

Let's put it another way...
You don't want to be "responsible", but somehow "plinking or practice" is different? If a load blows up a pistol in somebody's hand & maybe puts out an eye, while "plinking", that's somehow more acceptable than... what?

You summed it up yourself. Just don't do it, the risk isn't worth it.
Besides, like someone else said, 9mm stuff is already cheap enough, so there wouldn't be any money in it anyway unless you produced it on a LARGE scale, as in a business...
