If you shot 100 rounds (5 boxes) of priemium ammunition a year the costs would look like this (taken from wholesales website).
58.99 box of winchester supreme accubond = $294.95
37.99 box of 50 = $75.98
32.99 pound of powder - will get roughly 120 round per pound
5.79 100 primers
39.99 50 winchester brass Since you reuse 50 will get you buy for the year.
Factory premium ammunition = $294.95
Handloads = $154.75
You would be looking at roughly 3 1/2 to 4 years to pay off buying the reloading tools. The RCBS rockchucker starter kit is 400, and figure another hundred for dies and misc.
Of course if all you want is cheapand you are not worried about performance then get winchester super-x 27.99 a box or 139.95 for 100.
