I just started in August. I purchased Lee's ABC's of reloading and a Lee Anniversary Kit. I got dies (Lee), powder, primers and bullets, used fired factory Federal brass. I started slow and easy but have shifted up a couple of notches.
The main reason I started was similar to yours, 32 H&R magnum and basically only Federal loaded decent ammo for it. Ammo was expensive in that I was paying from $10 to $11 for SWC and $12 to $13 for JHP, this is for 20 rounds.
I now reload some hot rounds for my Ruger SP-101 w/4" barrel and 1894CB Marlin rifle and they seem to like it that way.
It has become a hobby in its own right and I find I am having much fun "saving" money.
