It's much, much cheaper.
For instance: I used to load .45 Colt by hand, among other things. .45 Colt rounds are in very high demand now, though since they are not *mainstream* they are expensive. They are also large, requiring a lot of lead and brass. A box of 50 .45 Colt rounds probably cost about 20 dollars several years ago and is likely more now. I could handload 500 for about $40.
