This also assumes you have all of the equipment necessary to cast, resize/lube, and finally load the cartridges. No small investment and a lot of lead has to go downrange before you start getting in the black side of the ledger. We won't count time spent to reload, especially if you are on a single stage press. I know, horse and buggy nowadays, but increases the cost per round exponentially if you count labor.
