Personal addendum: I used to participate in IPSA a long time ago. 400-500 rounds per month for the meets wasn't unheard of. That said, I reloaded all my shiz precisely because it cost so much to burn factory rounds. I also dropped from my initial .45 ACP to a .40 S&W no-jacket cartridge because even while reloading, .45 ACP ain't cheap.
