Whether reloading is a good idea for you, and whether it will save you any money, all depends on how much you shoot! If you are just an occasional shooter, who can live with only using a box or two of ammo pwer year, save your money and just buy factory ammo. If you are a clay pigeon shooter, by all means get a shotshell tool and load your shotgun ammo.

If you shoot handguns competitively, thjen you need a tool for loading handgun ammo. If you wantto experiment with rifles to see what is possible in both the ballistic performance and accuracy departments, you need a simple press, dies, a scale, and a case trimmer. Most reloading stuff can be purchased off of e-Bay for about half of what it costs new (or less!). I recommend you buy a good reloading manual like the Lyman Handbook before you buy any tools. It'll give you a good idea of what's involved.
