Hand gun reloading, copper plated bullets

I currently reload .45 and 9mm.  I use Barry's plated bullets from Cabela's.  For 9mm I pay about $25 or so for 250, and .45 is about $40 for 250.  Is this the best deal out there and the cheapest way to go short of going straight led?

I just reload for plinking practice.

Thanks!

precisiondelta.com has swaged bullets cheaper than that. Swaged is a kind of jacketed so they can be loaded to whatever speed you want. I used to buy Rainier plated bullets from midwayusa.com. I also think PowderValleyInc.com has Berry's cheap, maybe cheaper than Rainier from midway

Update:
Powder valley:
115gr 9mm: 1000 for $68.35
185gr 45: 1000 for $105.52
Precision Delta
115gr 9mm: 1000 for $82
230gr 45: 1000 for $130

Berrysbullets Plated Bullets are Good Bullets for Target and Plinking:
[Which--of course--You Already Know.]

What you may not know is that you can buy them directly online from Berrys at slightly less cost and much better selection than Cabelas.    Plus you pay no direct out-of-pocket sales taxes.   Plus on orders $50 and over, they will deliver them to your door by UPS in about four (4) days.   [My latest shipment of .38Spcl 148gr Double-Ended Wad Cutters arrived today.]

Here's the website location:

9mm:        http://www.berrysmfg.com/product-i14474-c11-g8-b0-p0-9mm_115gr_RN.aspx

45ACP:      http://www.berrysmfg.com/products-c17-45_Cal_.452.aspx

Shooting the plated bullets keeps the lead junk out of your gun barrel, where it's only HARD to remove.    And off the muzzle tip and cylinder, where it's IMPOSSIBLE to remove.

I've been shooting cast but I think I'm going to move to Berry's when I order my next bunch.  Getting the lead out of my M&P is a real pain.

Thanks guys, I seen that on the website.  The 9mm is cheaper at 1000, but at 250 its the same as cabelas.  The .45 is the same either way.

I am going to place an order for 2K rounds!  I just picked up 500 at cabelas.  They have the ranier bullets as well, slightly more expensive but they look better quality.
I'll probably take them back and just order online.  I figured it would take a couple weeks.

The lead only are only slightly cheaper, sounds like its not worth it.

Thanks!
