DoubleA is right on. When I started reloading MANY years ago, I was basically a newlywed and didn't have much extra money for "stuff" that the wife thought wasn't needed. Through some careful scrounging and with the help of some other shooting and reloading friends, I soon got some decent used equipment at real reasonable prices. It was enough to get me started. The updating and refining came later. In fact, that part of it never stops for me now. But times are different now, also.
I highly recommend reloading to almost anyone who likes to shoot a lot. Particularly if you are into handguns or claybird sports. It almost becomes mandatory then. You may find it beneficial to get a loading manual such as the Lyman 28th edition and read it through. It will give you an idea of the processes involved, and if you then feel it may be something you don't wish to pursue, you won't have spent a sum of money on equipment you may never use or have to sell. If possible, talk with a reloader. Someone from a local gunshop may be able to help you with this. Watch the actual craft in action if you can. It almost becomes a non-issue of cost if you seriously get bitten by the bug. And, as you stated previously there is no satisfaction greater to me than handcrafting your own ammo that generally shoots soooo much better.
