I've reloaded for about a year, only pistol cartridges so far, and only using a Lee turret press.

I enjoy it. It takes time though, and right now finding components is almost as hard as finding loaded ammo. If you want to reload just because you can't find ammo, I'd suggest sit tight and wait it out. If you want a new hobby, go for it. Expect about $150 or so to get in the game, plus components. You CAN buy everything online (when it's in-stock), but powder and primers will come with a $27 hazmat fee on top of regular shipping charges, so you'll probably want to see if any of your local shops have those supplies.
