I picked up a single stage Lee for $65 last summer. Add in the other necessities like scale, dies, powder scoops, calipers, tumbler, plastic cases to hold finished cartridges, tray to hold in process shells etc, Lyman manual......all in I'd say $250.
Paid for itself in about a month of shooting twice a week pins and plates. I make 45acp for about $10 for 50 rounds using plates swc, 38 special for about $7 for 50 rounds using cast rnfp, and 357 for about $15 for 50 rounds using jacketed soft points and h110 powder. The savings adds up quick.
reloading 357 38 and 45acp. Worth every penny.....makes quality ammo.....and is simple and fun to operate.
I can make 50 rounds in about 30 minutes now that I have my dies set up. When changing bullet type it takes a little longer because you have to reset the seating and crimping die.
Now imagine if you started casting and cut those prices by 60% or more.
