Around here, it is like $40-$50 per box marked cowboy.

Reloading looks like

per 100)
Primer: $4
Case: $1
Powder:$3
Bullet: $14

So, $11 per box. These are pretty easy numbers to match. It might go as high as $15 depending on how you buy components. Still, $11 + 1 hour or so of labor beats $45! I won't usually take a day off to reload, but it could pay for itself, especially reloading 12 ga slugs!
