I've only reloaded at one period in my life,,,
That was back in high school (60's) with a Lee Loader and a Mallet.
My grandfather gave me a S&W 38 Special revolver,,,
It didn't have a model number so I'm guessing it was an M&P.
He also gave me the Lee Loader and some lead bullets,,,
The old codger at the army-surplus store sold me some primers & powder.
He was also the person who showed me how to use it.
With my $2.50/week allowance,,,
I could reload one box of 50 every two weeks,,,
And still have some money left for cokes for my girlfriends.
Mom hated that I owned a handgun and powder,,,
When I went off to tech school in 1968 they magically disappeared.
I haven't reloaded since then,,,
I mainly shoot rimfire, 38 Special, and 9mm,,,
And not enough of the latter two to justify the trouble anymore.
