Default 12ga reloading costs

I was thinking of getting into reloading 12ga and I did the math and it seems my per round cost is not worth it.

Am I off base for reloading costs? Here is what i had estimated for 1k rounds.
$38 1k Primers
$18 1k of wads (i think they were CBs)
$275 5 11lb bags of 7 1/2 shot
$88 4lbs of powder

Assuming hulls are free (2 1/2" RSTs or similar), that works out to $0.42 per round. I can buy a flat from RST shipped for $0.51 per round and could get Winchester AAs a bit cheaper.

Does that sound about right given what people have seen for component pricing over the past year?
