.36 cal cap and ball. that is the cheapest. Next cheapest is roll your own. Master cast in PA is good, but to get the best deal, you must buy in quantity, and probably ship them your used brass. Nothing out there retail, or on line is cheap no more. The religious conservatives are hoarding it all. Did I just say that?

Anything by a good manufacturer that is about $25/50. Right now anything less expensive is too cheap for me to trust, on general principle.
Iceman is right about handloading. That is the least expensive way to go. You can get a rig, press, dies, scale, measure, etc. for from $150.00 for a Lee single station to a lot for the progressives. To figure what you need add up what you use now then multiply by what you want to shoot and determine which rig, single station, turret, or progressive will suit your wants. I use an RCBS Pro-2000 and am very happy with it. I especially like the safety of the APS priming system. I load all you mention except .380 but add several others. I like electronic scales after using balance beam for 30+ years.

Ammo Choices
I target practice with the major brands, although not their "personal defense" loads. However, I do shoot a few PD loads to make sure they feed well, etc.
Basically, I buy Remington or Winchester "white or green" box practice ammo. For personal defense, I prefer Hornady Critical Defense. Also have some Winchester "Ranger" ammo.
For PD, price is not an issue...your life depends on it.
What's important to me is "consistency" and reliability of BANG.

Cheap Ammo???
I use LuckyGunner and Cheaperthandirt for my online mailorders. Even the H.R.T. factory reloads fed flawlessly. I'd recommend them both...leasantry:

I could not agree more that is why I said I wanted cheap ammo for cutting paper not for self defense.

I thought about getting into the handloading deal, but we don't shoot as much as we were and the biggest thing is i would have to have 5 sets of dies, and that don't count the 22 or the shotgun, so for as little we shoot 200 - 300 rds a month and thats really a mix of all the handguns, we just keep a eye on the ammo shelf at wally world

See I was thinking of getting into reloading but I do not shoot that much to justify the expense
So I just buy when and as I need it. I picked up a few new gun (8) and I have not shot them yet so I went and ordered some target ammo and some PD ammo so I should be OK for quite some time plus I have some older ammo I want to fire up when I go the range (hopefully next week) ..:to_pick_ones_nose:

I use Walmart Win white box in .40 and .45 (all FMJ) for the range since its pretty much the cheapest and available everyday. Walmarts generally carry only white box or Federal down here but did find Win PDX in .45 (20 rd), which I picked up for about the same price as online.
For my PD I have Winchester Ranger RA40TA (Talon) - .40S&W 165grn SXT from Tactical Defense Solutions. The price was $28/50 and shipped on time.

If you can't find what you need at your local retailers, give Georgia Arms a try. I buy my .45 GAP practice ammo from them.

Drop by Walmart every few days. Sooner or later you should hit some white box Winchester (100 rounds). 9mm is about $23 here in SC. Can't remember what .380 were, but I bought several boxes. They just lifted their box limit here in SC, maybe everywhere.
Seriously, I have not found anything online that comes close to Walmart if you can find ammo there.
