I may have overlooked, but what is a ball park cost for the bare usable minimum to get into swaging say one caliber? Ballpark for additional calibers/styles?
I know when I started loading, $100 would get you a lee hand press, lee dies, a scale, a pound of powder, 100 primers and 100 bullets. Granted this was about 15years ago, so I'd imagine that cost is a bit higher now.
What brand(s) are good for someone starting from scratch? What all is actually needed? Ideally stuff that'll work with my current loading press? Primarily pistol bullets
