I reload to make custom loads, or better loads than what you can buy on the shelf.
My experience, I order or buy pre-made ammo, it's 250 to 500 $, when I stop at my reloader's supply, I'm lucky when it's only
750 $. I'd have to reload @ 20 to 25 K rounds to recoup startup costs and ancillary expenses. But it's a very worthwhile hobby
for the serious shooter, especially being able to tailor loads for your favorite caliber and rifles.
