You should be able to reload a box of 25 1 1/8 using "hard" shot for about $3.00 per box. It varies, of course, to how much you are paying for shot, volume, and powder costs.
So, check the "promo" load prices to compare what you would save loading 8 boxes a week. Promo loads often have softer shot which is okay, but not the best for longer targets.
If you were to buy AA or STS loads at $4.50-$5.00 a box, I'd say reload now.
It seems the high cost of shot hasn't caught up with a lot of "promo" loads yet, time will tell.
IMHO, buy a MEC reloading machine, progressive.
Good luck
