Shot is the main expense. In my area, the price is going through the roof. 25 lb bags are nearly $60 with tax for hard shot. At that price, it really depends on what quality shells you're loading as to whether it is worth it.
I figure the current cost to load AA equivalent shells is about $6.50 per 25.
New factory loads are running over $10.
If you have cheaper, soft lead shot, your cost for a box may be around $4. Stores offer the soft shot promotional loads on sale for $4-$5.
If people say they can load for $2.50 or so a box, ask them what kind of shot, and where are they getting it. (This, by the way, is still my cost since I'm still using hard shot bought many years ago, but I only have a couple of bags left)
