If you are going to shoot 100+ rifle rounds a year or 1000+ pistol rounds a year at a very minimum, it starts to make sense to reload. You'll never recover your investment in cost savings- you'll shoot more because the ammo is cheaper, then you'll start buying bulk components trying to save a few cents per round so that you can justify shooting more, then when you think you are getting ahead, you'll spend another $100 on new reloading gadgets to try to make your waste of money 'more efficient. Its a vicious circle.

If you really want to be penny wise and pound foolish, take up casting your own bullets. You have to make thousands of bullets to break even, and considering the time and tinkering involved, they will be the most expensive bullets you ever shoot.[:-]
