I get most of my supplies from midwayusa. Remember you can reuse the brass. For target practice I often get Rainer bullets. Economical and work well.
You can get 100 ranier 40sw bullets for about $12

1Lb of powder is about $20
1lb is 454g. 454g = 454000mg
I use about 7gr of powder in 40sw
1gr is 65mg. 7gr is 455mg
454000 / 455 = 1000 rounds of 40sw
So 100 rounds is about $2 worth of powder
100 primers about $2

As long as you can find them brass can be reused many times.

So $12 Bullets
$2 Powder
$2 primers


Basically 16 dollars per 100. Approximation only!

Also reloading is fun.

Hope this helps.

Another way to figure that is:

1lb=7000grains
7000gr/7gr = 1000 rounds
