The savings depends on what grade of ammunition you are rating your reloads against.

For .223 I reload with Hornady Vmax and Sierra Matchkings.

A box of quality ammunition costs about $20, I can reload Vmax for $5.50 a box of 20 or Sierra Matchkings for $6.40 a box of 20.

That gives me a savings of about 300%. Very substantial and more accurate than factory ammo.

If you are loading cheap FMJ and comparing it to cheap FMJ .223 factory rounds. Then the savings isn't as substantial.
