My "carry" ammo is Hornady Critical Defense, and my practice ammo are
handloads cranked out on a single stage press.  I reload for less than lf
of the price of premium defensive ammo.  My cost is slightly less than
factory practice ammo, however made to more consistent standards.  I can
easily match velocity and performance of my practice ammo to my defensive
ammo, however my goal at this point is mainly to shoot more.  Before covid,
the election, blm and everything else pushed up the price of ammo and
components, the 9mm shooters I knew were having trouble saving any change
compared to the price of highly abundant 9mm factory ammo.
