Dillion 550 press $400, RCBS dies $44.00 per set, Bullseye Powder $20.00 for 7,000 grains (average load of 4 grains per round for the calibers you mentioned. Lasercast lead bullets $70.00 per 1,000. Primers 32.00 per 1,000. 250.00 for extras like powder scale, calipers, tumbler, etc. and the price of brass if you can't just scroung it. In my area I usually find 20 or 30 rounds of 45 and 9 mm every time I go to the range. There are a lot of people that just shoot and leave it lay. Over time I have accumulated 1,000's of rounds of .45, 9mm, .40 S&W and .223 brass.
If there is range near you, you might contact them and see what they do with the brass that is left there. At an indoor range that I know of, I can pick up all the brass I want provided I spend the 10.00 per hour fee to shoot at the range.
