If you are looking for cheap ammo then go pick up some super-x.
If you are willing to take up a very satisfiying hobby then go pick up some dies and a press I would say for a decent new set up you would be looking in the $500 range you can buy a decent ammount of bullets for that.
I reload personally but not for the money savings, I reload for two major reasons improved/tuning accuracy and the personal satisfaction of shooting a big game animal with something you have made.
I reload and reuse brass and can probably shoot 60 bullets handloaded for what the same lead in a premium bullet would cost me for 20 so I guess when you think about it that way in two or three years you reloading setup would be paid for.

You can get 3 - 6 shots off a casing on average but a inspection is required everytime.
Most calibers are avalible for reload, depending on the case there are some cases where a sizing die might not be avalible but there are ways around that.
