I think this would be of great bennifit to those of us who intend to start this endeavor.  If you can detail what press, dies etc you use.  I will also call this "Spencer reloading for dummies" (FYI I include myself as one of those dummies).

Lee Classic 4-Hole Turret Press w/ quick-change bench plate mount, RCBS 56-50 Legacy Die Set, #31 shell holder. Use 20-1 Alloy molding with Romano .519-dia 320-grain bullet, sized/lubed w/ Lyman 4500 w/ 110V heater, .512 H&I sizer die, #191 top punch and Alox hollow stick lube. Use Starline .56-50 cases, loaded w/ 40-gr FFFg Goex, Winchester Large Rifle primers. Per round net cost to reload is currently $0.372 (i.e. brass, primers, powder, lead, lube), and $0.388 per round if including cost of equipment valuated over 20 years (i.e. 30,000 rounds). Also reloading .223, .308, .30-06, .38 Spl, .44-40, .45 Auto, .45 LC., and use Lee Classic Single Stage press for reloading .577 Snider.

RCBS Rockchucker presses, RCBS Lubrisizers, CH4D 56-50 dies, Buffalo Arms 56-50 molds and sizer dies for .515 and .520 ( I have two Spencers). Lyman powder measure. Harbor Freight mini chop saw and Forster case trimmer (see my YouTube video)
Lee bottom pour lead pot. 7 X 12 mini lathe for making powder compression dies and other odds and ends.
Also load 44-40, .357 magnum, 45-70, 38-40, .577 Snider, 577-450 Martini Henry, 11.15 Werndl

Rockchucker, Ammomaster, two 550's, Lee Reloader Press, six Lee Loadalls for shotshells, two MEC Jr's (.410 & 28g), three Lyman 450 lubrisizers, and dies by everyone under the sun. I reload .56-.50 on the single stage Rockchucker with Lyman dies and either Lee dippers or an RCBS Little Dandy, depending on whether I'm loading smokeless or black. Cases are primed with a handheld Lee Autoprime using a modified Lyman shell holder with the foot cut off, hole opened up, and diameter reduced to fit the Lee tool. The tool itself also needs to be opened up slightly so the case will fit. I turned out my own Lyman style lubrisizer die rather than pay Buffalo Arms $46.50 + shipping.



And it used to be such a nice basement TV lounge/den.

Jbar,
  I am going to print your reloading set up picture and have my 6yo stare at it every night until he can identify each and every reloading tool!

No idea where I picked up the trash can... it's been around for awhile.
