Do you reload? I dont own a .45ACP (yet anyway) but I do reload for the pistol calibers I do have. Started picking up 45 range brass. If you do not reload and shoot more that a few hundred rounds a year you will save money and it will not take very long at current ammo prices to break even. I have probably alteast a few hundred pieces of brass all free from pickups. So free brass and with primers at 2-3 cents a peice. 50 primed cases you can do the math. Start loading!
