Only been reloading a few months myself. It's costing me about
£7ish per 50 9mm rounds. I can buy them for £10 per 50. However
the .45 ACP I make for £7.50 ish and the cheapest I get that for
is £17 per 50. Lot of lads on here re-loading. I'd say just pick
up the kit slowly second hand when they upgrade to new kit.
I ended up with a Lee 3 hole turret press and got a kit that
upgrades it to a 4 hole turret.
I think I saw a lee turret press in Maryland country sports...
Not 100% sure tho

Yes billy in maryland has lee reloading kit but best to give him
a phone before heading down to check he has it in stock. Mervyn
has a lee dealership as far as I can remember and has almost
everything you need.

Something very wrong with £30 and £70 for postage from
England,!!! I've never been charged that not even from the USA.
Reloading is a craft so if you ain't handy and like to tinker
don't do it, but I love it. It becomes another part of your
shooting. Single stage Presses are ok but Lee make the 1000 Pro
which, if your careful and diligent will make rounds all day.
Don't listen to the Lee hype about easy calibre changes. It's
not. But Lee is so cheap it's not unknown for dudes to have 1
Lee pro for each calibre. I do it.

It's often referred to as the Dark Art of Reloading. It's an
endless source of fun, frustration and pride. Pride in finding
your own reloading recipe. The triangle of Bullet type/weight,
powder and method of making is endless but it's fun. You can
spend loads on a press like Dillon or RCBS or less on Lee type
progressive. I like Lee. Did I mention you can cast your own
bullets? Found another source Smart Reloader. It's a European
setup. Next ime your in a Gun Dealer ask for the Lee catalogue.
