Do you reload? If not, the initial costs have to be calculated, press, dies, scale.... Part of initial costs would also be the load development trips to the range, ammo spent... Another thing to consider is the fact the reloaders tend to shoot more.
Once you are set, the price might be half of what you pay in store, and ROI depends on amount of shooting you do.
Advantages are much better loads and flexibility to reload for other calibers as well.
There are reloading books and videos online which explain all factors in detail.
