You need to decide if you're going to shoot bare/lubed or coated bullets.

If you decide to shoot lubed bullets, you need some form of lubri-sizer: either a Lee tumble lube setup (affordable) or a Lyman/RCBS lubrisizer with sizing die and top punch for each bullet cast (potentially expensive). If you decide to shoot coated bullets, you need: a Lee sizer (one for each caliber cast), the coating powder (under $20), and an inexpensive toasted oven that will ONLY be used to bake the bullets.

Powder coating can be the least expensive approach to casting your own!
