Welcome to a fine madness
But if you really want cost-calculating madness, visit this thread:
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=663065
I developed a spreadsheet to figure in component cost, equipment cost, my startup (learning) time's cost and processing time cost. It was fun for me and I hope you may enjoy it, too. Maybe even expand on it.
(To those who decry counting time's cost for a hobby, I would like to point out that crunching numbers is also one of my hobbies. Don't trash the pleasure I get from my hobbies and I won't take offense.)

Quite right, the use of the word "reloading" does not make any sense. Substitute the word "loading" and it makes perfect sense. As you point out, it is only the re-use of the brass multiple times that makes loading your own makes economic sense (for some cartridges more than others). Of course, as others have pointed out, it is not only about economics. Some find pleasure in the process and others find they can craft better ammo than they can buy at any price.What the heck???cfullgraf]
If you leave the cases on the ground, reloading is a waste of your time.
Your comment doesn’t make any sense.
If I leave my brass on the ground at the range then I can’t reload it can I?
And a fine madness it is:banghead: ranging from frustrating to beatifying.This is madness...all madness.
