Costs of reloading is the last/least important factor in my reloading. I figger it's my hobby (how many people ask a musician, not professional, how much their piano costs, or a fisherman to compare the costs of his equipment vs. the cost of fish from the market?). I'm not rich, but I don't count pennies for my hobbies. If I were to count costs for reloading I would have to count shipping fees for components bought on line, I'd have to figger costs of powder purchased in 1990, or the actual costs of primers I bought on sale in 2002. Then to be accurate I'd have to figger utilities into the costs too (power for lighting, heat, CD use. Water for quenching, clean up, bottled tea for thirst quenching in a warm shop while reloading). Then there is counting times to the LGS and figgering costs of my vehicle (gas, wear and tear) and compare the times I went to the store for reloading components and the times I might go to the store for factory ammo.

Or I could just sit on my stool in front of my Co-Ax and enjoy...
