You can start reloading for common calibers for less than $25. Many scoff at the Lee Loader, but the fact is, it was the only reloading "kit" available for decades, and it served quite well.

It's slow. It's not as precise nor flexible as other systems. You won't fine-tune a target load using a Lee Loader. But if you have brass and bullets, and powder and primers, the Lee Loader certainly works.

Now if time is important, you don't want to go that route. To set up a high-volume progressive system will cost at least $650-1,000, possibly much more. You can get by much cheaper by using a turret press.

Only if you would be doing something to make money during that same time. If it's spare time, the dollar value of your time investment is zero.
