Dont figure the brass price into the reloads unless you are buying brass (but realize you get many shots out of a piece of brass).
I can do a box of .357sig hollow points for about $7, versus $25-30 retail.
Flipping through the midway cataolog, used 40 brass is 2c-5c.
New brass is 12-17c.
.40 FMJ bullets are 7-10c (ranier) & 12-14c for golden saber
9mm FMJs aroud 6c, 8c for Rem HPs.
Primer, 2c each.
Powder, figure $20/lb, and that works out to 3c for a 10 grain charge. You'll likely use a little less.
So you can load .40 for under 17c/rd even buying used brass or recycling your brass is about 12c/rd ($6 per box).
Cheapest 40 I have seen was 9.50/bx for steel case, so $6 is a pretty good savings.
10gr is a hot charge for .40. I run about 6gr for the 45.
