Ok so I did some math and just quickly googled some new stuff like press, dies and primers.
Funnel and scale and 4lbs of powder along with 1000 55gr V-max projectiles
To make 1000 rounds of .223.
I got 700 bucks for a total.
No trimmer and no reloading book.
No brass.
But once that press and other things are bought it gets cheaper.
These were on line new in stock prices.
Save some by shopping for used I am sure.
And the best part you get much more accurate ammo.
I did google 1000 rounds of .223 and it was less than 700.
I suppose it depends on your ultimate goal if it is worth it or not.
