I reload 9 mm, .45, 38 special, .357, .223 and soon 6.5 Grendel.

Typically speaking brass is about 60% of the cost. When I reuse my brass I can reload a box for about half the price that you can buy it for handgun ammo, rifle ammo is about a third of the price. On the occasion that I have to buy brass, it comes out to about the same. There is a significant cost savings if you shoot a lot.
