A lot depends on how much you spend to get set up and how many rounds per year you reload. I find that my cost per round is lower than even the cheapest factory loads. I'm reloading 45 ACP, 9mm, 223 and 243.
I got into reloading when I started shooting IPSC. Bruning through 200-500rounds a week gets a bit expensive. My first suprise was how much more consistant my reloads were. Next, I could reduce powder charge to meet the shooting standards but gain a bit in recoil control.
I don't compete any more but still reload my own ammo. Reloading can become a hobby in it's own right. You can also cook up special loads that are either hard to find or just not made any more.
You should try reloading with a freind that is already set up. You might like it or not. If it is something you like, then you can get your own press.
