I understand
You are on a budget but I strongly urge you to get a scale. And a press and dies, etc. Lee loaders have been around for many many years, and while you can turn out good ammo with one, it is very, very slow and labor intensive.
The powder dippers work, but you must be careful to use them so as to get uniform results. Reloading presses seldom wear out, and used ones can be found cheap. A new set of carbide dies (.45ACP) will cost a bit but are worth every penny. You already have the hand priming tool, and that is a good thing.
A press, a scale, dies/shellholder, a loading block, and at least one reloading manual, and you are set. There are lots and lots of other goodies that make it easier, but the basics are all you need to get the job done.
Once you load a few rounds using a press, you will never use that Lee Loader again. If you count your costs (including your time) against boxes of WW White box ammo, you 'll see how these things pay for themselves after a little bit. Although your up front costs are higher, making ammo for $6 per hundred is better than paying $21 dollars per hundred.
The real drawback with reloading is most reloaders don't save money. What often happens is that they spend just as much (or more!), but they have two or three times the ammo for the money. And don't forget your time, you can never get that back. Spending a couple of hours with a Lee Loader doesn't get you that much ammo.
Keep going, just put aside a few dollars here and there, and keep your eyes out for a deal. A $150 new press can be found in the want ads for a song, used. Often a complete set up can be had for the price of a new press.
Read your loading manual. Learn about the machinery, pick up a piece at a time, and soon, you will be "in the tall cotton"
I started out nearly 40 years ago, with just a simple press, one set of dies, a scale, a loading block, and a manual, a gift from my grandmother, and it just kept growing. Today I load for over two dozen different cartridges, and seldom buy more than a box or two of factory ammo in a year (besides .22LR). When I get a gun, I also get dies (if I don't already have them). Reloading the the other fun side to the shooting sports. Welcome to the next level.
