Since the ammo prices have been going up, I have decided I want to start reloading. The only problem is, I'm a complete newb when it comes to it . Aside from the components of reloading (brass, bullets, etc.) I only know that I will need a press (with shell holder & dies of course). Would a Redding Press Kit be enough to start with (it comes with dies and a shell holder).
I am not really looking to spend over $150 on the whole thing but will be able to move up to say $200 if need be. The caliber I am reloading for is the 7mm-08 remington. I already have brass for this, so all I would need is powder, primers, and bullets correct? I found some powder, primers, and bullets on Midwayusa.com and it all comes out to $46/100.
Am I missing anything when it comes to this? What would be a better reloader, if the Redding is not a good one. Can you offer any tips when it comes to reloading?
And two important q's:

And two important q's:
If I switched out the die and shell holder, would I be able to reload for a different cartridge, like say a .308?
How long would it take to reload 20 cartridges (7mm-08); how about 100 cartridges?
