I think it's pretty hard for a newby to get into any reloading today because it saves money. I have about 6 presses around and I have yet to pay over $75.00 for any of them. I have one Lee press and it is set up permanently for 218 Bee only. I have what looks like an endless supply of dies, some of which most have never heard of the chambering. I don't think I have more than $25.00 in any of the die sets individually. So I got into it when it was still cheap. I bought up components before the price increases and still have powder under $10.00 a pound and primers under $7.50 a thousand. So to save money today and get into reloading today you are not going to save any money. It's all about tailoring a load to a specific firearm to achieve maximum accuracy and velocity, not saving money. If the custom loading is a thing you want to do, it's a fun hobby for most. But like most hobbys, it can get expensive to get into. And the deeper you get into it the more expensive it gets.
