I loaded my first 22-250 reloads for about $65, which included a used gun show Lee Loader for $10, a Lee reloading manual for $16, a pound of Win 760 powder, 200 large rifle primers, 100 Remington 55gr soft point bullets and some Lee case lube.
I supplied my own 1x6 board and dead-blow hammer, and it took me about an hour to do those first 16 reloads (only brass I had).
Somehow I managed to get some decent groups with those loads. Got even better accuracy with a few 40 and 55gr V-Max bullets that were given to me. Satisfaction level went through the roof.
I've since bought a Lee Challenger Press, Perfect Powder Measure, 22-250 Deluxe rifle dies, 243 RGB dies, 243 case length gage, a pound of Varget, more primers, .224 A-Max and V-Max bullets and .243 100gr Interlock bullets. I'm trying VERY hard to pick up a few items each month to stay within my monthly budget...my next dies will probably be 270 RGB, followed by 223 and 260 Pacesetter.
I'm completely hooked on reloading. I shot 80+ reloads out of the 22-250 this weekend, and found a couple loads I'm going to develop further. Still learning a lot and have a lot more to learn, but that's part of the fun.
Besides, the wife doesn't bother me when I'm in the basement now at the workbench!
