shop around. There are lots of good deals on used reloading equipment. Especially when people "go progressive."
I bought my whole setup for $375 including a Lyman turret press, Lee C-press, beam scale, trickler, powder measure/dispenser, flip tray, hand primer, Lee dies, Midway tumbler, media sorter, steel calipers, case gauges, reloading blocks, etc.
Built the reloading bench for $5 for the wood screws. Local construction site let me pick up the wood for free.
Fast and efficent relaoding requires the right equipment. All of the above are necessary if you want to easily grind out 125 rounds an hour on a single stage/turret system.
Going progressive means you're going to be spending $600-700 for a similar setup and your breakeven may take 2 years worth of shooting to recover. I shoot some 45 and 9 and will break even in three months!
Save money, never worry about your dealer running out of your favorite ammo, make better than factory rounds, how can you lose?
