What I tell people about reloading is that you will save money per round, but in the end you'll spend the same amount overall, you'll just shoot a lot more.
Truth.

When I was shooting .45, I saved enough by reloading and shooting 185gr swc bullets that I shot 80% more. I went through 250 rounds a day, 5 days a week, back then.

I didn’t go broke at all, but my time investment went up as I was casting all the bullets myself. Once I found a good load I just made that one load and nothing else, hence the economy of invested time per box of ammo, and only bought components on sale in bulk.
