King,
Don't feel that reloading is black magic or even complicated. I think most folks with a little reading and a few questions, a small investment and and some spare time you can shoot reloads as well as most ( in a few weeks not a few years). Lee can keep it inexpensive and many folks including my started there and I still use the Lee products for much of my bench work.
I have a BVSS in .223 and it likes 69gr Nosler 24.5 grs Varget, Win small primers, Win brass, .010" from the lands.
