Kind of hard to break it down but here's my go at it. Assuming you are buying brand new unfired brass for 100 rounds
Components:
100 Cases of unfired Remington Brass - $40
100 name brand bullets (Sierra, Hornady, Bergers...etc) on average - $30
Large rifle primers 1 sleeve of 100 - $3
1 lb of powder (Varget, IMR 4895) - ~$25
Approximately $98/100 match grade rounds. The next time you load minus the cost of new cases. If you buy once fired brass and bulk bullets (500 for $100), bulk primers (1000/box), and 4+ pounds of powder then the prices come down in the long run.Comment

Say, how many times can you reload that remington brass on averageComment

Primers at approx. 3 cents each---150 fmj-fb pulled bullets at $75/500 equals about 15 cents each---powder at 47 grains per round of IMR 4895 which gives about 150 loaded rounds equals about 14 cents per round.
Primers .03
bullets .15
powder .14
___________
total 32 cents per round
This doesn't include case prices nor shipping costs.Comment

I would load them until they can't be loaded any longer. Check for signs of over pressure and cracks or deep scratches on the case neck. Or if the case will no longer hold the bullet even after crimping, then you might want to recycle it.Comment
