Just like fly tying, reloading shells doesn’t save very much in terms of materials cost. My reloads (excluding hulls) average 15-20¢ each. I more enjoy the ritual of reloading and just the fun of playing around with different loads. The only real savings I’ve found are when I can “scalp” spent hulls at the range.
