You can load .45s for less than half the cost of new. If you want to get technical you can amortize the cost of the reloading equipment vs. the number of rounds per year.
What is your time worth? Most for us reload because we like to. The cost to reload a .45 is as follows - bullet .035 , powder .01, primer .012 if you already have the brass and figure your time as $0 then the cost is .057 per round or $2.85 per 50. About the cheapest factory .45 is around $7.00 to $8.00 for 50. HTH
