Any savings will have to assume that your time is worth nothing - high or low volume. Financially, you'd probably be better off getting a job ar Mickey D's and buy new shells.
That being saiid, I just spent a bunch of $$ to upgrade from a Ponsness Warren 800B to an 800+

In 12 ga savings is marginal. But significant savings can be had in other gauges, the 2 7/8" 10 ga in particular. Shooting just over 1500 shells since 2010 at crows alone has resulted in over $1300 of savings for me compared to factory loads.
The benefits of reloading are numerous, its an enjoyable past time by itself. It allows one to shoot short loads and low pressure loads for use in old guns. It makes it easy to shoot loads not readily available such as 7/8 and 3/4 ounce 12 gauge, which are easy on the gun, shoulder and wallet.
Much more flexibility and savings when it comes to non-toxic shot friendly to old guns too.
Reloading is way more enjoyable than work at Micky D's
