The cost of producing a reloaded round will vary enormously, depending on many factors, in particular the country in which you live. Local costs of manufacture, import costs and taxes on reloading components all vary. For this article I will use the “typical” costs I experience. The basic cost formulas should work for most everybody, but you may need to do some additional research and plug in your own values, depending on where you live.
There are 4 significant costs to reloading a round of centre-fire ammunition, namely:
The projectile (usually the biggest cost).
The primer.
The gunpowder.
The case (based on multiple uses of the same case).
Total Cost = Projectile + Primer + Powder + Case
