Oh and BTW, some will say that you need to spend thousands, just on the press.

It's simply not true. Lee, Lyman and others make low cost but very effective reloading tools.

My entire setup cost under $1,000.00. I have a turret press, a digital scale, a balance beam scale, a powder measure, turbo tumbler case trimmer and about ten sets of dies. Plus crimp dies, bullet puller, primer press and ultra sonic cleaner.

Granted much of it was bought some years ago but even at today's prices I could replace it all for less then the cost of one, high end kit, that has only one die station. And no dies.

The high end presses are great if you want to reform large cases or swage bullets, but for every day case resizing, the cheapest press has more then enough strength.
My Lee press is nearly thirty years old, it has resized thousands of cases and it works as good today as the day I bought it.
