My admission fee was free. My dad handed all his reloading equipment down to me when I got married and left home. I was the only one still using it anyways.
Lyman JR turret press with .243 dies, Redding Junior cheap C-frame aluminum press, Redding #1 Scale, .243, 30-30, and 32SPL dies and other things.
I had to load all his ammo for him and he would buy the supplies. I jumped all over it. The aluminum Redding junior bit the dust as the leverage pins got sloppy in the holes and kept falling out, from resizing 30-06 on it.
So upgraded to RCBS RCll for rifle and pistol, and years later when I could afford it, Hornady LNL-AP, and Lee ABLP for pistol and revolver rounds.
Admission Fee ? For me, Free.
Upgraded presses? Paid for themselves a long time ago.
Pay to Play, Consumables.... Now that one costs me a lot.
