Great starter is the MEC Jr. I recommend their micro-adjustable bar, YMMV. You will be able to load at lower cost depending on your location of lead shot. Advertise to buy folks' old stock. Of course, for many of us the opportunity to load premium ammunition is the greatest concern, and then the savings really start to add up--look at the price of premium shotshells these days...with the exception of Bismuth--it's too high for the shot alone!
If you are able to bite the bullet a bit, there are better loaders which taper the end of the shell in a full length sizer, or have a more rapid rate of sequential loading (good for high volume, but I probably wouldn't buy one used) etc. You get a better tool for a few more dollars, and lessen frustrations a bit.
