As Leighton/Stallones mentioned above, the cost is not much of a savings over the "Mart" store offerings that are shelf ready......
But, reloading does allow the shooter/reloader to control his product to suit his shooting needs, especially where vintage guns are involved....i.e., low pressure, low or high volume, rolled or star crimped, short-medium or long hulls and so on.....and for some it is a lot of fun and rewarding.....
Used single stage presses on ebay, for example, cost near what new MEC presses cost from Grafs or one of the larger retailers.....I would suggest new equipment which includes warranties and "no headache" quality, i.e. void of rust and prior user damage etc......there is a lot of junk out there.....IMO.......
First thing would be to buy a good shot shell reloading book and read in detail to see if this adventure suits your liking........it's not for everybody, that's for sure.........
I load multiple gauges and have found that having a press set up for each gauge is advantageous if you have the room.....
