There is a certain break even point and I've calculated it before and don't know what it is off hand but I've definately surpassed it. Unfortunately I use the perceived savings to justify buying new equipment and trinkets which may or may not make reloading easier or give better results. I also shoot alot more. The best thing is that I can reload shells for a rifle that will work best in that rifle with the components that I want to use instead of paying for some of the overpriced crappy ammunition sold at the loca sporting goods store.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
