I've been reloading on an RCBS kit for years. You can get the starter kit for around $300 NIB (press, powder resovoir/stand, scale, case trimmer, odds & ends), then build up all the little extras a piece at a time. Expect to pay about another $150-$200 for a full set-up of basic necessities (dies, michrometer, case holders, powder, primers, bullets, brass, hand primer tool(much easier and quicker than the press), etc.). So $500 total will have you in business. If you're planning to shoot half as much as I use to, it will pay itself off in a month or two.
