I am trying to do a cost analysis of 9mm to see if the calibre will be viable for me financially, and was just wondering what I can expect from new casings in terms of how many reloads I might be able to get out of it before needing new casings.

I know that there are many variables in play but for those of you that do reload 9mm, what do you think is the bare minimum you should expect from new brass?

Cheers.

I reloaded 9mm for 10+ years for a SGC 9mm LR rifle, I'm sure the same thousand cases just went on and on and on, I can't remember ever chucking any away, so in my experience at least 10-15 reloads, that's using a medium target load and light crimp (3.5gr Bullseye, 122gr lead bullet) - just check your cases before reloading them.
The brass will be the cheapest part of the deal.
