If you reload to save money, and factor in your time, it's not worth it.

If, OTOH, you consider reloading a hobby, as I do, it's a lot of fun and a great money saver.

I enjoy loading 2000 rounds of 9MM, .40 or .45 or .223, .308,.30-06 in an evening on my Dillon 650. And loading in lots of 2,000, I don't need to load a particular caliber every week, and I can justify buying components in bulk to save even more.
