think anyone is saying you won't save money by reloading 9mm. I understand them to say that saving @$3 a box is not worth their reloading time since if it takes them 1/2 hour-1 hour (including set-up time) to reload 50 rounds, they would just as soon pay the extra $3.

Exactly. I still do 9mm but don't consider it a savings.
Compare that to .454 Casull that has to cost $100 a box by now that I can load for about $10-$12 or .44 magnun that costs(guessing) $35 or $40 a box that I can load for $8-$10. Now THAT is savings!
As for equipment costs, its what you want to spend. You can easily put togther a basic setup to load a pistol round for under $300, and if that round is .454 or .44 mag, it doesn't take long to start coming out ahead.

I reloaded 17,800 rounds of 9mm last year. That's an approximate savings of $2,400. For me, it is a
real savings.
As I said, if you aren't loading more than a few hundred and/or your reloading is slow, then I probably would be a little more discriminating about what calibers I reload. That's why I don't reload any .45ACP. I just don't shoot very much of it.
