I've posted this before about 2005-2006 so relative prices will be different,but I believe I save about 40% over price of factory loads by reloading. I don't save any money because I shoot more ammo, but I sure learn a lot in the process. maybe it will give you an idea--
I’m sure I could have saved a few more dollars by continuing to comparison shop for brass and bullets. I bought everything except primers and powder from Internet retailers. However, I’ve found a local, independent gun shop that I like, so my costs might increase some for future purchases. The price is worth it for the advice and friendship of my local dealer. Also, I don’t have the delivery frustrations from my local guy that I do for any of the commercial services that come to my part of God’s country on schedules inconvenient to me.
