In addition to the above comments, I'll add a few.
I enjoy having the means of production. I can load for anything I want, and not be paying scalpers pricing in lean times. During the summer of love, I was able to shoot 100-200 rounds per week and not bat an eye. When 9mm was $30/50, I was loading for <$7/50. When it started to drop in price and could be found for $15, I used factory and left my stock alone.
I use a forgiving powder (Unique), that can work in .32 HRM, .380, 9mm, .38Spc, .357 Sig, .45 etc. I can make whatever I want.
I buy bullets mostly as needed, as those are not hard to source and not as subject to politics. I also have molds to cast if I choose. Casting is whole separate skillset that brings it's own challenges and learning curve. But, if need be, I can completely remove the bullet cost from the equation.
A benefit of a single stage, or turret press is that it self limits one's usage. Each round is a labor of love and for me, throttles the consumption.
You can't shoot it, if you don't have it. For instance .38Spc, I shoot very little of it, as it is done on a Lee turret press. My hands have taken a beating over the years and the recoil of .38 combined with production speed is a limitation. Contrast that with my D650, and I can have 1k in no time.
Also, once you start cleaning brass with a cement mixer, the "cost savings" sort of becomes laughable.
I've been reloading for 42 years (since age 5) and still waiting for the account with "dollars saved" to be above zero.
