First off, whether or not you actually save any money is debatable, more realistically what you'll end up with is more consistent ammo. I use an RCBS RCII (single stage press) that was handed down to me from my dad. Providing I can source supplies, I haven't bought a box of ammo in some time with the exception being the rare new caliber that I add to the collection. I use an RCBS vibratory tumbler with a mix of corn cob and walnut media, it works pretty well for my purposes.

Just my opinion, if you want to use a beam scale, get a digital scale and calibrated weights for nothing other than verifying your weights on both. Again, my opinion, unless you're loading match ammo, a trickler isn't really needed for pistol ammo as a good powder throw will throw consistent charges. My list for when you get going: press, dies, priming tool, powder throw, tumbler, case trimmer, reloading manual (the more the merrier again to verify info), scale, calipers, and consumables.
