Now, if you are doing it strictly because of cost savings then you should count with some additional expenses:
- You will need an universal bar ~$50
- You will need an electronic weighting scale ~$100
- Reloading literature ~$50
- Reloading components (ballistic products) sold by blizor.net are ~20% more expensive than those listed in BPI reloading web-page (and no you cannot order directly from BPI - the rights are with blizor.net). I order from RSI (reloadingspecialtiesinc.com) - is cheaper. Powder and shots can also be bought cheaper in stores.
- Count with ~2-10% additional costs from what you have theoretically calculated (powder and shots spills, wads and hulls wrecked)

A good online calculator can be found at:

good luck
You won't find ummison shot any cheaper in the stores for m Bilozir- IF the stores have it.
I have dealt a bit with RSI but prefer to deal with Bilozir.
