You can pick-up a press, reloading dies, and boolit mold for under 250 dollars. If you shoot a lot it pays for itself fairly quick using Starline brass you could reuse their straight case brass easily 3-5 times before worrying about the case cracking (depends on powder charge and annealing process). Expendables like powder, cartridge cases, primers the price will go up a little more.

On a more serious note unless you’re hunting werewolves silver may not be the best metal to shoot through the barrel anyway. Best brinell hardness of the boolit depends on the powder charge and muzzle velocities achieved with the gun you’re shooting. Too soft or hard and the barrel might lead up.
