I have been researching reloading for about a month. You might want to look at the promotion hornady has going, where you get 500 free bullets with the purchase of their AP press. Plus another 100 each for purchase of the caliber die sets. So if you got the AP press $386, and three caliber dies @ 40$ each, you'd have 800 bullets in your choice of caliber.

My plan is to get a die and a shell plate a month for my reloading initial setup (9mm, 45ACP, .223) and get the press later this year or when I can find it on sale.

FYI, the free bullets promo ends 12/31 but they had a similar promo last year so they may have another one for 2k13.
