Here is a cheaper one $70 + 2x4s

Bought one of the 2x4 basics kits myself for a workbench/cleaning bench/future reloading bench...

Made a nice setup, keep meaning to post a review and all my pics of the process, I need to get on it...

Just deprimed my first 300 pieces of range brass.

Not counting consumables (powder, brass, primers. bullets) yes it can be done easily for about $25 per caliber:

Classic Loader 9mm Luger


If you want to step up, you can still do it for all four calibers within your budget:

Reloader Single Stage Press

Carbide 3-Die Set 9mm Luger

And of course you can simply go up from there and you can get better equipment used.

Personally, I'd recommend spending the money to take Aszerigan's class then figure out how to spend your money best. Reloading is reasonably safe if you are dilligent, but it's also possible to get hurt or hurt other people if you screw it up.

+1 to this. I took Aszerigan's class, bought an RCBS Rock Chucker and some other used equipment (my father-in-law bought me all the dies so long as I reload for him) and was reloading in a day.

I don't know what his classes are running now, but they are worth it. I drove down from Fort Wayne to take it.
