I am wondering what it costs in terms of set up to start reloading and to find out how complex it is?

I primarily shoot 12 gauge, 9mm, and .40 caliber. I shoot some .357 sig and .30-30.

How much would it cost to get started with reloading 12 gauge, 9mm, and .40? Also, it is easier to reload shotgun shells or casings which are straight (not necked). What type of set up is needed? Should I buy a kit or piecemeal?

How much do you have to shoot and reload for this to be economical and worth the capital investment of buying a reloader and required supplies?

I know absolutely nothing abour reloading, so thoughts are appreciated.

I recently purchased a Hi-Point .380 acp. Because I was broke and it only cost 0 after taxes (0 to make it CA legal) Because of the price(and lifetime warranty), I wanted to buy a Hi-Point 9mm for about the same cost. Except that my gun broke after 2 trips to the shooting range and it has spent more time getting repaired than in my hands. Should I hope for better luck with the 9mm? or should I buy a sling shot?

i was thinking 9mm or 38, but this is excellent. Wonder if you can buy it at a store chain or do you have to order. Thank you.
Thanks for all the answers. Take care.

I have a Baby Eagle 9mm and am looking to replace the barrel. On the Magnum Research website they only list the Desert Eagle barrels. Where can I find the Baby Eagle barrels for sale if not at the official magnum research website? Please help!

I'm looking for something in the 9mm or 40cal, i've looked at sigs, glocks, any suggestions would be helpful

i have the money for both, but i am find a hard time deciding which pistol to go with, i searched and searched and i find about 50/50 opinion of both. what are the pros and cons on each gun...i am looking to buy a 9mm. please any help

trying to pickout a glock to buy, i collect shotguns, rifles, so this will be my first pistol. pistol will be for target practice butmainly just cause i want one. cant decide if i want to get a 9mm or a 40, and dunno which glock model to buy. or maybe theres some different types of pistols you can tell me to look into, looks and feel will be a big part aswell and i have about a 500-600$ budget.

I am thinking of buying a handgun. I want a smallish 9mm. I was looking at the smith and weson sigma but I heard they suck. All I require is it be reliable and shoot straight. I would like to stay in the 0-0 range.

I am new to guns and thought all 9mm's use the same size bullets. I am having a hard time researching what bullets to buy. If anyone can tell me what bullets they use in their p89, it would be a big help to me. thanks
