I wonder is labor rates are ever factored into this reloading cost.

Say if you were working instead of reloading, you might be making 10 dollars an hour. if it takes one an hour to make 50 rounds of 9mm then they are losing money because most are 9 bucks / 50.

add in the cost of supplies and they lose even more.

Sure all hobbies have a cost, but if you are reloading vs buying factory fresh just to save money, then maybe you arent.
