About 50% of the prices you quoted, using quality components ordered in minimal quantities.
You need to consider that once you start reloading you will have an investment in equipment that will last you a lifetime. You will have a chance to spread the cost over many years and keep a valuable ammo supply on hand in times of short supply. You will also have an opportunity to become addicted to a fun hobby.
Reloading takes a certain level of dedication and attention to detail. If you dont shoot much and cant stand at attention for more than 10 minutes you are best suited to buy your ammo versus reload.
To put the required interest and attention level in perspective.... If you have not been inclined to brew your own beer, that neighbors will want, or own a boat which you personally maintain (insert additional time consuming detail or mechanical related past times) you might not want to consider doing this.
If you have the time, interest and attention to detail, continue researching and asking questions beyond cost.
