buy bullets powder and primers in bulk , it costs a bunch more up front .
but its far cheaper to manufacture ,per cartridge in the long term

look at the cost per bullet/ cartridge,
you can significantly reduce this cost if you shop carefully.
run all cases, to be reloaded through a case cleaner
resize all primer pockets..
especially on mill surplus cases vs commercial
ideally use Winchester or federal primers
they tend to be far more consistent and accurate
most rifle twist rates are designed to stabilize the 55 grain bullets,
but will stabilize the heavier 62-64 grain,
faster twist rates like 8 :1 will stabilize heavier 62-68 grain bullets,
much better, and frequently improve accuracy
bullet designed with a slight boat tail tend to load easier
with careful component selection you can reduce the cost per cartridge,
to less than 1/3rd of the cost, or even less of commercial ammo
