Well it looks like some people can save money reloading and some can't. I'm in the group that can. I cast my own bullets for pistol and it doesn't cost that much to get into casting. My last primer order was 50,000 for $799 including shipping and hazmat. That's $15.98 per 1K. I have powder that cost $12 per pound. I get all of my lead for free and have around 1,600 pounds on hand. I can load any pistol I shoot for $25 per 1,000. I'm loading 223 for my AR for $110 per 1,000. You just have to look for deals and buy in bulk.
