Good read, you will not save money reloading. You WILL shoot more and spend money on stuff to reload with that you don't need so make sure you are well prepared and know what you really need and what is a luxury in the process. Example would be bullet feeder, case feeder maybe, fancy scale when a beam scale will do the job very well. I dropped $100 in a digital caliper, its fancy and is great but a traditional dial will do the job just as well. You get the idea, point it do your home work,
 is spot on with this point. Once you buy your set up it will take maybe years to start getting ahead for reloading if you go all out. But so worth it!

As far as the costs yes for just 9mm or .45 ACP it may take a while to recoup costs but my 38-40 loads cost under $4/50. Midway now sells a box at $40 and when I started loading 38-40 it was $106/50. Then I jumped into 300 BLK when it was $45/20. Believe me that press paid for itself quickly.

I use a Lee 4 hole turret press. I remove the ratchet so it does not auto advance, and load in batches. I prime off the press, so it's resize 50, then prime on a hand primer, then expand those, then load them with a Little Dandy powder measure, then seat and crimp in separate steps. Once my dies are set in a turret, I don't have to change them unless I go to a different bullet profile. Changing calibers is a snap....just snap the .45 turret out, snap a new turret in...dies are already set
