[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1746146, member: 74902"] Like others said it can get surprisingly expensive to reload. BUT that is mainly because of the perceived need to constantly upgrade your reloading equipment believing/hoping that the latest most expensive reloading tool will somehow make the ammo or shooter shoot better. If you can somehow avoid that pit fall, reloading can be surprisingly cost effective if you shoot enough. I just ran the numbers for reloading Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor Precision Hunter ammo vs buying it per round. Looks like this: $1.80 per round to purchase at Midway $0.69 per round to reload. (This is based on reloading the same brass cases 10 times. This is normal though and where the most money is saved reloading) Right now you can get a RCBS reloading kit on Midway (on sale) for $319 and a set of RCBS 6.5 Creedmoor dies for $34. Total: $353 to get started. At those cost you would break even on the upfront cost of reloading gear after reloading just 318 rounds. After that you are saving $1.11 for every round you load [/QUOTE]
