What is Cost of Reloading?
Cost of Reloading answers the question every reloader asks: "Am I actually saving money?" Select your components — primers, powder, brass, bullets — and see your cost per round calculated in real time.
Compare against factory ammunition to see your savings per round, and use the break-even calculator to know how many rounds justify your equipment investment. A pie chart breaks down where your money goes across each component type.

Common questions
The app takes the price you paid for each component — primer, powder, brass, and bullet — divides by the number of units in the package, and sums the per-unit costs. The result is your eCPT (equivalent cost per trigger pull), updated in real time as you adjust quantities or swap components.
Yes. Enter the price of equivalent factory ammunition and the app shows you the savings per round side by side. This makes it easy to see whether reloading a particular calibre is worth the effort compared to buying off the shelf.
Enter the cost of your reloading equipment (press, dies, scale, etc.) and the app calculates how many rounds you need to reload before the savings-per-round cover your equipment investment. Once you pass that number, every round you reload is pure savings.
