I'm not sure if I mentioned before it depends on the grade of ammo you are
producing. Match grade/ benchrest ammo will save you more money than
recreating 9mm hardball or 55gr .223 for plinking. I used to break even when
I reloaded shotshells, then when I began producing specialty loads such as lig
hter recoiling 1oz loads for the 12 ga, it really paid off because I don't
know of many places you can find them.
Regarding hundreds or thousands, it also depends on how far you go. I don't
run a Dillon progressive. My presses are single stage. If I shot IDPA or
steel challenge, I would probably invest in a larger press than can put out
several hundred rounds an hour. For now, it's smaller batches of ammo for
ladder testing. I would like to dial in a nice 77gr Vmax load that will let
me reach out to the woodchucks and raccoons at the edge of the woods.
