If you calculate the time spent doing it, and you will spend time ,a lot of time if you want to do it well.. Then it's stupid expensive. And while it is fun in the beginning, if you shoot a lot , at some point it becomes a chore..

I cast and reload for .38/.357. And it is definitely cheaper when you add in equipment.
If you're shooting .45, 5.56 and 9mm, just keeping track of the brass is a pain, but that isn't where the world begins and ends.
Scrounge wheel weights for lead, you can get about 2,000 rounds of .38 special from a pound of bullseye, primers for 3.5 cents each. So if you've saved your brass from previous shooting and scrounged your lead, those 2,000 rounds cost you $95. 1000 rounds of .38 special Tul Ammo is $285 from Luck Gunner.
