7000 grains in a pound of powder. 100 primers in a flat. Brass lasts a long time. I have some .45 ACP brass that I've reloaded like 8 times or more. Some of us use "plated" bullets instead of jacketed. Cast lead is cheapest, but can't be shot in everything.

Press, dies and other tools get paid for pretty quick, depending on how much you shoot.
