I bet those .300 Ultra Mags weren't cheap..

Steve,
The .300 Ultra Mags run about $35-40 per box of 20 retail. I reload them, but this was for a good cause...and I can always use the brass :)

I would have bought more 7.62 ammo, but I just purchase 1000 rounds a few days ago.

As for reloading, I don't. So far, I don't have any guns where it would be economical. My rifles are designed to shoot cheap ammo, and ammo for my handguns is relatively common and inexpensive. ($ 0.16 per round)

Most of my ammo is store-bought, for the same reason as you: it's cheap, and there isn't much savings from reloading it. But the .300 Ultra Mag is the exception; it's $2/round retail and I can get the cost down to about 60 cents/round by reloading it. That was enough to justify buying the reloading equipment.

My handgun ammo is less than 20 cents/round, as is the shotgun ammo. I'd have to burn through a LOT of it to justify reloading either.
