Is it spendy to get started from scratch
And I'm a businessman... so whats the cost-benefit-analysis say about reloading? i.e., how long will it take to reload..say, 500rds of .40 and how much will it cost?
This is a perfect post to hijack. I'm also shooting alot of .40 S&W and am wondering if it makes sense to get into reloading. I dont have alot ot of spare time to spend in the reloading process....

Thanks!
The initial cost to purchase a single stage press plus all of the components and tools will push the cost per round to .50-.80 cents depending on your end total. After the first 1-2k rounds your cost per drops by half, or more, of retail. This is from my experience and cost analysis of my particular set up. I've put in about $550US into gear and components and I only load 3 calibres. In 200 more rounds I'll have reached the tipping point and will start seeing the benefit in cost as well as the heightened accuracy tuning rounds for my particular weapons brings.
Edit; After moderate practice I can load 500 rounds in 2 hours. This accounts for case prep, dropping powder, and seating bullets and I'm in no way a pro.
Great info guys! 500rds in 2-hours gives me a good idea of the time part of the equation. And only 2k rds to see a significant savings over retail...Thats not bad at all...
I'll keep reading up on it.
Thanks!
