Just for reference, I just checked Precision Delta's website (a lot of IDPA shooters including myself buy our bullets from this company) and they get about $100 for 1000 bullets. 1000 primers will cost you close to $40. One pound of powder (about enough for 1000+ rounds) will cost around $20.
So at current pricing with primers still overpriced and still occasionally hard to find..... 100 + 40 + 20 = $160 to load 1000 rounds is about $8.00 per 50. This of course assumes you have been saving brass to reload. Buying new brass will throw a wrench in the works from a cost perspective although you can sometimes score a good deal on used brass from shooting ranges.
For 9mm, I am at around $6.50-$7.00 per 50 depending on what kind of deals I manage buying primers/bullets/powder in slightly larger quantities. (I reload mainly for light recoiling IDPA legal rounds, but I do see some cost savings as I went through about 8000 or so rounds practicing and competing in IDPA this past season)
