I suppose the brass cost is reduces once you reuse your brass for the next 1000 rounds. So, maybe that is where the savings are?
How many rounds does one need to break eve after the cost of a single stage press?
Thanks

if you buy brass and bullets and all else .. you break about even the first time around. its on the subsequent firings of that brass that the savings come to fruitation.
That of course is almost immediately offset by the sudden rise in ammo consumption
