Use once fired brass and reuse it multiple times. Once fired is 10 cents or less per casing.
Primers should not be 4 cents, even delivered now. Buy in bulk -- 5000 or 10000 at a time and the shipping and hazmat should not be a penny a primer.
I use WC844T and WC846 surplus powders so am paying about 14$ per pound at current prices, when bought 4 kegs at a time, in bulk delivered from Pats Reloading.
7-8 cents for a projectile is about right now when buying in bulk.
Of course, I bought my powder at Pat's last year for $10 a keg less, my primers were bought anywhere from 1994 to 2007 and cost me less than the going rate by 1-2 pennies, and my 55 and 62 gr slugs are either 1990s IMI at 3-3.5 cents a slug to 2007 PRVI for around 6-6.5 cents a slug. So my actual costs are lower but you should be able to do a little bit better than you listed -- buy in bulk, don't pay stupid prices, and use once fired brass (or pickups of other people's brass if you can)
