You know, I don't even count the cost of the reloading equipment. it is just like buying a revolver in my mind... In the sense, you don't think about the 'up front' cost to shoot 'x' cartridge do you? If you have the cash, you just buy the gun... As with the gun, a reloading kit is a one time purchase (so don't cheap out). Reloading tools simply allows you to load 'more' which means you can shoot more and frees you from factory availability problems. Tailoring your loads to 'your' needs is a 'big' plus. After you have the equipment, adding another cartridge just means a new set of dies and a shell holder. Win win. My experience was my dad and I bought Hornady press back in '82 or so and I've been using it ever since. This year I did get an Hornady Iron Press just because I wanted the quick change capability. The old press was still working fine!
