You can expect to lay out $500.00 to $1000.00 to get going 2 books 50 t0 100 dollars a solid press $120 to 400 (you can use a lee classic cast, rcbs, hornady, Lyman, redding big boss or Forester) your wallet will be your guide a set of dies for each cal, $40 to 150 a set let your wallet be your guide 2 scales (1 beam and 1 digital) $50 t0 150 a powder dispenser The lyman 55 is a real good one about $100 a powder trickler $10 to 25 a primeing tool Lee makes a very good one as does Hornady and rcbs (the Lee hand prime is what I have been using now since 1990) a set of shell holders (and you may need a separate set for the primeing tool also) a trimmer, there are just too many out there but, for a start, try the Lee system it is cal specific but easy chamfer and deburr tool primer pocket cleaner a bullet puller, the grip and pull is a good one That is a start, so if at all possible find a mentor before you take the plunge [/QUOTE]
