Pick a bonded good bc bullet and your about $40/50 bullets
Go to better consistency primers for $10/100
brass is $1.50 each or more and you might get 3-10 loads, but still the biggest cost at the front.
Powder is $0.20 to $0.40 per shot.

Including brass prep takes me 2 and half hours for 50

0.80 bullets
0.10 primers
0.15 to 0.50 brass based on brass life and quality purchased
0.30 powder =
1.35 to 1.70 per shot of quality custom ammo

$27 to $34 per 20 + 1 hour of your time that you could be shooting or having family time or sleeping or other hobbies or working for more money.

Plus at least $150 in reloading equipment, maybe plenty more if you decide a gadget here or there will improve your quality or save you time.


Reloading is fun and you get exactly the quality out of what you put into it. But i wouldnt say it saves much money unless you shoot over 500 rounds per year. If you are just practicing trigger skills and confirming zeroes for hunting season, factory ammo offers very good quality most of the time.
