I will likely get shot down but my guess is that since I started reloading my costs, if I factor everything in, is much higher. The benefit for me is more shooting & the pride of rolling my own. In addition the more shooting you do the greater the pay off. For me reloading is not about saving money and if the average shooter is honest there is really no savings. It is a hobby & hobbies cost money.
for me its about saving money. i load for about half the cost of factory. a little more for 30 06 a lot less for 300 wby. i have probly 600 dollars reloading equipment. so you will have to shoot about 500 rounds to start saving money. of course you will have a few hundred dollars bullets and powder on hand but thats not really an expense unless you quit reloading
