RE: ballpark price range
When I first started I managed to get everything I needed ofcourse the basics and 2 die sets and even a brass tumbler. I spent about 220 bucks. Heres a list of everything I bought
Lee aniversary kit $65.99
Lee case trimmers $3.99 x2 (one for .38 cal and the other 30-06 cal)
Berry's brass tumbler $41.99
dillon walnut media $12.99
Frankford brass polish $5.99
frankford caliper $34.99
lee deluxe 30-06 dies $26.99
lee carbide .38 spcl 3 die set $19.99
Thats all the equipment you should need to get started though later on I recommend buying a different press especially if you plan on reloading a ton of ammo I would reccomend Redding's "The Boss" press. $89.99. The challenger press that comes in the lee aniversary kit is fine for getting started. Then ofcourse you will need powder, primers, and bullets.
heres a list of average prices for the powder, primers, and bullets.
Powder $16-$22 per pound
primers $16-$19 per 1000
bullets $7-$25 per 100
Good luck and have fun
