I primarily reload .45 Colt. At Big 5, a box of 50 was $49.99 the last time I checked. I can reload that same box for about $10.00. So far I have fired over 1200 rounds of reloads for about $240.00. Factory ammo would have cost me $1200.00. I have spent about $200.00 on reloading equipment, which my savings has more than paid for. In my case, reloading is the only way to go. Basically, it depends on how much you shoot. In your example, you are going to save $31.00 for every 100 rounds. Are you going to shoot 100 rounds once a week or once a year?
