~4,000 rounds of Blazer 9mm 115gr ball ammo bought today at Midway costs $1,012.
4,000 rounds reloaded into free brass costs ~$520 at todays component prices.
So, it takes 1 to 4 years per $1k invested depending on how much you shoot . . . and how soon you buy that ammo. Most folks are more likely to buy components in bulk and freeze the cost for a while.
If you use other than "9mm RN" bullets, your savings increase significantly. Blazers are fine, but they aren't a match or SD load.
If you reload rifle, there are many other benefits.
Still don't know where these RCBS presses fit in against the competition though lol.
