As others have stated this is a bad time to get into reloading.
Equipment costs are back down and are available but components are still sky high and scarce.
The bottom line is even if component prices were back to normal the only person to answer the question of is it worth it is you.
What are your goals?
Do you want to save a few bucks on a few boxes of ammo or do you want another time consuming hobby? For me it is a hobby that i enjoy.
If you go into it understanding reloading will be a hobby then it is worth it. If not just buy what you need and save your brass and send them to me.
Basic equipment will cost about $200 for first caliber and about $50 for each additional.
Basic reloading kit from LEE
This kit has started people off on the right foot for decades. Still a great value even after doubling in price over the years.
Die sets are about$35
9mm Dies
ETA: Also, you will need at least 1 reloading manual and CLOSELY follow the instructions!! This is very important!!!

Not to derail, but I just inherited a bunch of reloading equipment (no I don't want to sell). All of the reloading books are from the mid to late 70's. What is a good new manual to buy? This is for centrefire rifle ammunition.

This is my case. But now that hunting ammo is scarce it's nice to be working up some loads and having the components to get through this season anyway.
