OK,let me start this by sayingI only have one caliber that I would reload (at the moment...as I have avoided others because of this).

I have a couple rifles in .270 that I have considered reloading for. Both shoot the basic silver-box winchester stuff pretty well (one under 1" and the other about 1"). However, I do not shoot them a lot though as the cost is too high. I would like to load for two reasons 1) economics and 2) experimentation. I have a birthday coming up and I usually get some $$ from family, so I have considered buying (with that money) a simple reloading set-up (LEE kit) to get started.

How much will I actually have to shoot to really make it cheaper to reload?

I know I can get better quality ammo by rolling my own, but how will the economics be?
