I started the same as Dusty, with an RCBS Rock Chucker kit. With a couple upgrades, dies, and consumables I had about $300 invested when I shot my first handloads. This included a tumbler and a couple extra loading manuals-you can never have too many manuals.

Up front, buy the best quality you can afford.

I agree. As a long time auto mechanic, I have learned to never skimp on tools. If you buy quality tools now, they will last a lifetime.
