it's not universally true.The cheapest ammo is your basement with a Dillon Press.

even if you pickup brass for free you still need to buy projectiles and powders which isn't cheap.
you can find ammo that is cheaper than reloading. hence the reason i'm not bothering for mainstream calibers and only reload various exotics and hard-to-find stuff.

What common calibers are more expensive to reload if you assume your time has no value?
I view time as my most valuable resource. We each have a finite and rapidly disappearing amount of it. If you enjoy reloading, though, then have at it!

Then there's the runaround with checking ID multiple times, not being able to handle it myself until I've paid for it, etc. Every time I buy there I think about reloading. My point here is there's a time/aggravation aspect to buying factory loads, too.
Dick's & Walmart can have some great prices, when they have ammo. They're way to hit or miss for my taste. Four Seasons is the most consistent, but Original Bob's has some smoking deals once in a while. I recently bought from Bob's some milsurp 8mm Mauser for .30¢ per round & 7.62x54r for .31¢ per round.
Before the Missouri Compromise (1820), Maine was part of Mass. I find Cabela's in Scarborough is by far the cheapest and most consistent place to get ammo in bulk. They're only 45 minutes north of Salisbury, and they're in line with all the internet places that won't ship to Mass.

It's the only way I can afford to shoot as much as I do.
M1911: If you had to do it all over again and buy a new press, would you go for the RL 550B or go for the XL 650 ? Looking at both & looking for input before deciding.

650 or Hornady LnL.
Hornady LnL ??? The Google search came up with Lock n Load as a single stage press. Is that what you had in mind? Was looking for a Progressive Press.
My BAD. Guess they also have a multi stage press with the same LnL.
