Or save up your money and buy bulk up in Reno. I know a couple of people that go up frequently.

Well I placed an order last night and already have tracking details. Slug pricing at 32c/round will make range time a lot lighter on my wallet.

I'm thinking of getting a press and doing my own reloads.
I thought about this too but it's not worth the work for me. Too much setup. Not to mention you are making bullets.

Since I'm shooting .45, the savings are a lot better to reload yourself. What's wrong with making bullets?

And the same couldn't happen with store bought ammo? At least if my reloads blow up, I've only got one person to blame.

The risks outweigh the savings, for me. Similarly I wouldn't make my own fireworks.

I don't see this risk you are taking about? But you are okay with home made bodily protection? Reloading is a pretty exact science. It's not like you are making the "powder".

Has anyone used TulAmmo before? Really cheap on sgammo.com for box of 500rds 45 ACP.

You're down playing the risk of working with an explosive and comparing it to working with fabric?

The two are very different. In my cost/benefit assessment of re-loading, the potential saves $1000/year are not worth the potential injury, hospital time, damaged gun, or permanent disfigurement/income reducing injury. You may feel differently.
