Think of it like running a car, most people will say it does so many mpg, so "P" per mile is the price of a gallon divided by mpg, they forget the cost of tax, servicing, tyre wear, parking etc etc.
Most reloader's don't include the cost of equipment in the price per round because tools are an asset that last years or can be sold on if you stop.
So in consumables, bullets £25/100 = 25p each, primer 5p, powder maybe 10-15p, cases 28p ea but divided by the number of times they can be reloaded so ?? call it 50p per bang.
So you might save 20-50p per shot depending on what factory ammo you use but it will take 500-1000 shots to make back the initial outlay of equipment to make them.
but
The actual reloading can become a hobby in itself & doing the load testing is great fun if frustrating at times.

That's because people don't sell them on! It is as popular as the 17H and a lot of people are replacing the HMR with either hornet some preferring the new kid on the block some going the traditional route.
In terms of cost of reloading there really is nothing in it between 0.22H and 0.223 other than 7 - 15 grains of powder so not surprising cost is on a par.
Thanks for looking
Sounds good on the kit, maybe see if there is a way of using the turret press as a single stage press as you're new to all this you may be better doing each stage on its own to get familiar with it and whilst doing load development, then the multi stage function can be used for churnin out batches of ammo in one hit (provided you don't mind loading dirty brass).
Recipe sounds good, just need to start working up how much and how long now, I generally cross reference the load data on Viht and Nosler's websites to come up with my start and max loads . . .
Thanks for looking
best tip...buy good quality once fired brass
email...... stephenbarrow@ntlworld.com
Pistol & Rifle Shooting in the Highlands with Strathpeffer Rifle & Pistol Club. <StrathRPC at yahoo.com> or google it.

Sounds good, my point was to use as a progressive press you go from fired case to loaded round in 4 (?) pulls on the arm, the brass doesn't leave the press so no chance to clean the case or more importantly the primer pockets, if you're using as a single stage no prob's.
With the US cleaner personally I wouldn't muck around with potions and recipes just buy a 5L bottle of seaclean 2 for £25 or thereabouts, does a grand job and will last ages!
