Dashunde, I am not sure what part of the link you read but reloading does not cost that much to start out and the time is not all that much either!
The time spent in making better the factory rounds IMHO is well worth it to begin with and it is also fun and a learning experience.
Loading what you mentioned (I am doing the same thing) only cost $200 for a kit from Lee which included a press, Scale, Primer, Powder Measure and Shell Holders. Included in that cost I also bought a set of Dies, digital calipers and a Cass Tumbler.
Brass, powder and bullets "if" you shop around can be had on the cheap and again your getting better then factory out of it once you get the motions down pack!
Reload you will thank us later!
