Well, rough cost?
100 Barnes bullets will be about $45
1lb of H414 will run soemwhere about $35
100 primers usually around $4
Your brass you already have
HOWEVER, you have to get set up, and unless you are using a lee hand loader , you are going to be spending several hundred dollars on equipment!!
