You can break it down easy. Factory dove loads for a 20 run at $10/ box. With the components I have accumulated over my life I can load them for 3.50/ box with the components of today off the shelf maybe $7-8/ box. Thing is like Dale 06 we've been buying stuff that was good deals for years accumulating it. You can't go back in time and pick up 5000 1 oz power pistons for $50 for your 20 like I did, you have to do it initially with off the shelf prices. Reloading is a necessary hobby for me and isn't for everybody. One thing for sure factory ammo will never be cheap again from what I can see...mb
And I believe the days of decent priced components (if you can find them) is in our rear view mirror.
