I have about $600 worth of gear (turret press, 7 sets of dies, miscellaeous other stuff). Another $400 of brass, powder, bullets and primers and I have $1,000 invested and enough stuff for $1,000 (retail cost) of ammo. But the next $1,000 of ammo only costs me $400 more. And the next and the next.

But wait, you start shooting more because you can make more of it so easy. There goes the savings. The only time you save money in this hobby is when you have the flu!

But instead of shooting 300 rounds of 22 rimfire and 50 rounds of store-bought ammo, I shoot 200 rounds of homemade centerfire ammo and 200 rounds of 22 rimfire.
Where did my savings go? And don't get me started on the wages I pay myself to load my ammo. That is for another thread.
