Fusternc,
Your dollar savings in reloading is roughly 50%, depending on the price you pay for components.
Component pricing is largely based on the volume purchased & where you buy it.
Start with small amounts though, untill you settle on what works best.......you don't want to be stuck with 85 pounds of powder you can't use.
You should first buy 4 or 5 different loading manuals & read (study) them....worlds of valuable information there.
You may want to look at starter kits. RCBS makes one with everything you need to start & it's built around their Rock Chucker single stage press which is super strong & well built.
Should you eventually want to move up to a progressive press, you'll still find the Rock Chucker very usefull.
And, the single stage will produce just as good reloads, is much more user friendly & costs much less.
The major advantage of progressive reloaders is they are faster.
Lee Precision makes very good dies at very reasonable prices. They also make very unique & functional accessories like powder measures,both hand held & press mounted priming tools, case trimmers, factory crimp & collet neck size dies.
But, the thing you'll like most about reloading is the self gratification you'll have from shooting a round that matches or surpasses factory ammo that you created & it costs less.
A warm fuzzy feeling ? Well, maybe not but, you'll hold your head a little higher I betch'a.
