Just an info post. I reloaded 39 375 H&H today. 270gr Hornady and Speer bullets. Cost $1.30/rnd for components. Cost to buy the cheap factory stuff is $4.60/rnd. Saved $129 today. If you include the cost of brass and dies, reloading 2 boxes of ammo means I broke even today. The other 120 rnds I've done have saved me almost $400. I save less with 30-06, but have reloaded 6-8 times as much. 44 mag, no way I could afford to buy the 25 boxes worth I've shot.

Wow you got a deal on components. Here's the cost to reload for my .375 -
300gr Accubond: $1.80
75gr propellant: $0.45
215 primer: $0.05
PRVI case: $1.00/4 reloads = $0.25
Total: $2.55 + tax = $2.70 ea.

Buying your load in factory ammo would run $120/box. Mine is only $85ish in factory ammo. I'm shooting Speer and Hornady cheap bullets and only 68-70 gr of powder that I picked up for $23/lbs. Primers were $2.80/100. Bought a lot when it was cheap. I have a box of 250 GMX's on the bench that were $77/50. Haven't broken down and used the good stuff yet. Brass was from a member $60 for 50 I think. 75 gr of Varget uses the brass up a bit faster than my range loads.

Right, Cabela's has Nosler Trophy Grade 260gr ammo for $117.99, 300gr could be a bit more pricey -

Premium bullets are worth the extra cost. The 300gr AB held together well, as it should being a core-bond design, on the Bull Moose I downed this past season.
