Mate, a Smart reloading press will cost you less than $50 and a full set of Lee dies about $80. After you buy your powder, primers and projectiles you'll probably reload those cases for not much more than buying factory ammo. After that, you'll save heaps and it is a surprisingly easy pastime to reload, just stick to the basic rules and you can't go wrong. Plenty of people on this forum to give you advice on how to do it.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but personally I prefer the .30/30 Winchester.

'Smart' is Italian I believe, I'm sure the tumbler I bought say so..... therefore as long as its not chinese, the presses couldnt be that bad, I only have US presses myself, but I'd buy a smart press, maybe for a spare, what could go wrong....theyre heavy cast pieces of metal, lube the moving bit... :unknown:

Surprisingly robust and does everything that it's supposed to, I can't see why it wouldn't last. One of the Sydney gun shops has them on special for $39 at the moment.
