44 mag is a nice cartridge to reload! But starting from scratch, you need to make decisions on the type of reloading you want to do. A buck a round can be a lot of money, setting up some reloading rooms similar to ones seen on this forum can cost as much as a condo.

Cheapest form of reloading is a Lee Loader, but the start up costs can add up;
Lee Loader, used $20 (I have found the for $5, but that was decades ago!)
Can of powder, $23-35 (this will do several hundred rounds)
Primers, about >$5.00/100
Bullets, $28.49+ shipping (at Midway)Rem 240 grain jacketed.
Brass, Free left over from factory ammo

Lowest cost; $60-80/100 It can easily considerably cost more to set up for your first 100! This is assuming you don't consider your time!

I started with this basic set-up in 1979 for about $30 in 303 British. If you don't enjoy the process, you can walk away for less than $100. If however, you get into reloading but don't do large volumes of ammo; you can spend way over $400 for equipment and supplies plus time and space. The amount of shooting you do determines if $1 a round for fresh/factory ammo is a value or not!

It is already too late for most of us, but save yourself from a lifetime of reloading and testing and reloading and trying something different. It can be therapeutic or compulsive!
