Some good points made here, but I think it might be valid to look at reloading equpiment as a hedge against future ammo prices.

Things are getting more expensive...labor cost, raw materials, possibly taxes. Also consider when looking at cheap foreign ammo, that the cost may not be as favorable in the future.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, 9mm ammo was about $5 per 50 in my area. A lot of people said it wasn't worth it to reload. Nowadays, I pay about 33% less for my 9mm reloads and save about $5 per box over factory ammo. Since I've started reloading, I've noticed that the price for factory ammo is climbing faster than my reloads...the gap keeps getting wider, in my mind.

Point is, I wish I had started to reload a lot sooner!
