I'm very tempted to start reloading my own ammo. Any suggestions? What is a rough estimate for the innital setup cost?

Currently, me and my Dad own a .243 Winchester bolt action rifle, Remmington model 1100 12guage shotgun, Springfiled Arms .45 M1911 ultra-compact, 9mm Glock 17, and the Smith & Wesson .357 Mangum revolver. The revolver or deer rifle would be easy to reload to cause they don't throw the shells to bad, but shooting the .45 or 9mm in a creek bed with ammo flying into weeds makes collecting empty shells pretty difficult. . . Any tips for finding rounds with the semi-autos? Finding a weed-free shooting area is almost impossible where I live (don't know of any palce that meets that requirement).

Would you be able to recomend a good on-line or mail order retailer to order ammo from?

TIA, L J
