You can get back for a lot less than $1000. Start with a single stage press, get used brass at your local range or buy on the forum here. Primers are around but hard to find but getting better all the time. Powder is starting to become available, and bullets are around.

In short, you WILL save some money on reloads but you will get better ammo, tuned to your own guns, and you won't be held up by folks selling stuff at overly high prices in the future, and you will control your ability to shoot when you want, not when you are lucky enough to find some ammo.

Example: I was at a gun show this past weekend and watched a guy buy a 550 round box of .22LR for $80. I asked him why he was buying that and he said that's all he could afford to shoot. I informed him I could shoot 9mm all day long for about half the per-round price he just paid for the .22 ammo because I cast bullets and reload everything. He was shocked.
