It also depends a lot on the components available to the individual and the size and availability of the ammo.
I pay $65.00 to $95.00 per 50 for 218 Bee ammo but much less per round for the components to reload then he does because of what's available to me in that cartridge.
The ammo is relatively rare up here so it's expensive for what it is.
For reloading, the only brass I've been able to find is Winchester brass and it's relatively inexpensive.
Also, I can only find one type of factory ammo, where if I reload I have some choices. That has to be considered.
I've seen ammo for some cartridges listed at $95.00 per twenty.
There ought to be some savings there.
