I've been contemplating the same economics on reloading the 9mm. For me, reloading is something I want to do. I also expect to acquire a .357, a .44, an at least two .45's within the next year, and then reloading will definately be worthwhile. So I'm looking at the fixed cost of the press (most likely a Dillon 650 with case feeder) as being ammortized over 4 calibres. The only seperate cost per calibre is the dies (and possibly turret plate), bullets and brass.
If I was only shooting 9mm, I would really question the potential savings of reloading. But if you add a few other calibres into the mix, I would definately go for it.
