1lb of gunpowder is 23 buck, should be good for 1k rounds

Just using .45 cause thats what i shoot the most. but 2k rounds of .45 for $230

So figure you'll need 2k primers, 2lbs of powder, 2k bullets you are around $350 for 2000 rounds, typical 1000 round bulk pack of reloads costs you $400-$500
Thats a pretty healthy savings, especially when you start to sell your extra ammo.
