basic reloading
Based on ammo prices, I think I need to start reloading some, at least for my 2 "simple" cartridges, 357/38 and 44 mag. Only complication is that the 44 mag is for a Ruger carbine, so jacketed only and mostly full power
I've done a few thousands with a basic lee setup for 12ga. I'm assuming that a single simple load for these 2 calibers would be very similar - so what do I need to get started? Kit or piece it together myself? I'm doing this for budgetary reasons, so I'd like to be able to get started for 357/38 as inexpensive (but not cheap) as possible... I'd like to be able to produce 100 rounds or so with 2 or 3 hours of my time - possible?

I dont thing you can beat this deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300206172961&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020 0 -
You can also check with,www.midwayusa.com and,www.natchezss.com for their prices on press kits. 0 -
iwannausername,
It's possible to knock out about 100-200 rds in a couple hours. depending on how organized you are when you start.
The Lee deal that peppersac noted is a good one for pistol reloading. Whether you get it off fleabay or somewhere else. You don't need a big heavy single stage press for pistol loading like you would with rifle brass. Same with the ones dcs posted for you. Also, www.wideners.com is a good place for supplies and equipment0 -

go to youtube.com and type in reloading...alot of good videos out there. My recommendation would be stay away from the Lee kits. I like Lee's Cast presses but do not like the anniversary kits. I prefer RCBS scales. Now, I do have the Lee Classic 4 hole turret and like it. Has the Pro Auto Disk measure attached to the top of the expander die (this measure is finicky with some powders but loves Win231)... and Lee Safety prime attached also. Can kick out at least 100 rds/hour pretty easily. 0
