Trying to just save money by reloading for rifles isn't nearly as cost effective as for handguns.
High volume reloading for rifles also doesn't necessarily produce nearly as accurate ammo as factory, usually requiring spending a lot of time and effort on it.
It probably only really pays for those who do a lot of shooting and reload with really good (expensive) equipment.
Reloading for 9mm should pay, though.
Not at much as say 44 magnum, but with the right choices in components, it should still save quite a lot.
Assuming the costs of reloading equipment and your time isn't included.
