$1000 could get you a great setup if spent wisely. I spent more on buying a bunch of junk trying to save money than it would have cost to buy my current setup outright. At first I wanted to save money now my gear is oriented to saving time without sacrificing accuracy.
Trying to save time reloading is where things get expensive. My $150 rcbs case prep Center replaces $30 worth of hand tools. My $350 rcbs chargemaster replaced a $30 lee powder measure. Neither does any better of a job but the time each saves me could be measured in hours per week.
What I'm trying to say is that your reloading setup and cost all depends on how much time you want to save yes there are some expensive things to increase accuracy like custom dies but most just save time
