[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1874392, member: 110773"] ROI (Return of Investment) depends on lots of factors. I can build a 20-count box of .45-70 ammo for $5.25 but the cheapest I can buy is $30 a box Ten boxes save $250, which will buy a lot of good reloading equipment – more than enough to get started - especially if you buy used. My RCBS Rock Chucker press loaded thousands and thousands of rounds and was good as new when I gave it to Big Brother. Load data is free online. I shoot a lot of Barnes TTSX. Factory ammo for my rifles runs $44-50 per box. I can build it for about $18 a box, a savings of $26-$32. I also shoot a lot of Nosler AB. Same savings. Plinking or low-cost hunting ammo? $10.50 a box for .30-06. Shortages of factory ammo? No problem – build your own. The time required to build a box of 20 is about 20-30 minutes total, including time to deprime, clean, trim, prime and charge the case, and load the bullet. Depending on your setup and experience, the time required may be more or less. My time is important to me but reloading is my hobby – and an enjoyable one. Some people golf, I reload. And shoot.
