I've heard that unless you shoot thousands of rounds per year, reloading doesn't save you much.
You definitely save more from shooting more often, that's without a doubt.
Here is a reloading cost calculator. I can load 5.56 for 23 cents a round. That is almost a 50% savings on ammo. Then again, I buy supplies by the 1000 and there is a lot of case prep involved with loading rifle rounds. Pistol rounds require much less case prep.

Right, and reloading becomes a hobby in itself. When you need some quality quiet and alone time, go to the loading bench. Also, cooking up some exotic loads with different projectiles gets fun too, then you test them and see how accurate/hot you can get them. Its addicting. One thing I do enjoy very much about the 550B is the ease of caliber changes. Get yourself a new tool head for each caliber and changing from one caliber to the next takes seconds.
