I am sure we have a few reloaders here.

The cost of centerfire ammunition is really bothering me. A session at the pistol range costs $40-50 in ammo. That’s just 100 rounds, and that’s shooting the cheap stuff bought online. It’s basically driven me to .22LR, which I like fine but I don’t want to be limited to just .22.

However, I’ve heard that reloading has become expensive too.

How much does it cost to get equipment for reloading one pistol caliber, then how much for each additional caliber? Including supplies (primers, powder, bullets?), how much does it then cost to produce each round?

Would you reload just to save money? Or is it not justified unless you want to work up custom or special purpose loads?
