I know what you mean. I bought my first Dillon 650 when I started CAS and reloading 45 Colt. Current cost for me to load a box of 50 is $6.63 (and that only assumes 10 reloads on the brass -- probably closer to 20). Current cost for factory ammo is right at $29.00. Makes my savings more than $22.00 per box of 50. I wouldn't be able to shoot CAS if I didn't reload.
