Don't forget that you don't always have to 'fire form' all brass to get to the near final case shape you desire.
There is the process of Hydraulic Forming which uses either water or denatured alcohol as the actuator. These dies are similar price-wise to buying Redding products but are made by either Whidden or Hornady. The front end cost is higher but can be amortized over the quantity of cases made using the process, making those cases relatively inexpensive. No bullets, powder or primers. No once fired cases, cleaning and annealing or wear and tear on your barrel and time consumed using those components.
Cheap is not always an end unto itself. It's a state of mind.
I made several hundred 6mm Rem. AI cases by loading excellent, accurate varmint loads in standard cases and shooting prairie dogs. Three shots then let that rifle cool while continuing with another rifle.
If you only need a few cases for hunting, buy a box of factory ammunition and fire form. Keep those 20 pieces to use for your hunting which should have them last quite awhile. Fire form while shooting hogs or deer if you like.
If you like tedious, load with pistol powder, corn meal or grits and tuft of something then go shoot and have a good cleaning system worked out.
Any of these methods will work and have worked for decades. Test or pick the one you like.
The importance is enjoying the process and getting to shoot something you made!
