I don't see how you can put the words reloading press and budget in the same room. This hobby has legs and a mind of it's own. It will snowball and there is always one more thing. You can end up putting a grand in it easily. Then again, you use $20.00 a box per ammo and count the number of boxes and you can end up with a grand there as well in 50 boxes of ammo. Then you make your ammo and you save. But wait, you start shooting more because you can make more of it so easy. There goes the savings. The only time you save money in this hobby is when you have the flu!
