I have never used one and would like to try. I'm only planning on buying one. All suggestions appreciated!
Brian Mero. Affordable, quick turn around and one of the best trumpet makers out there.

Greg Gwaltney, my first and only trumpet, takes a lot of practice to sound good, but found his easy to play for a beginner. https://gwaltneygamecalls.com/

Jeremy Simpson makes a good one. Believe he's around $150 for a wood call.

I would suggest hitting up Ben Gentry, Seminole Yelpers. He just made one for me, ABW. It is extremely easy to run and sounds 100% turkey. Reasonably priced and turn around was only a few weeks.

Holler at Doug Morgan, I have an acrylic call of his that is bad news.
define reasonable. To me its a few hundred dollars. Somebody else, it might be a $1000...another it might be a 100 bucks. Go to Helen and attend Unicoi next year.

What is your definition of reasonable? Brian Mero is a great builder, as is Lee Chadwick. Most builders with reputation have it for a reason.

$200 or less
I'm a fan of Delrin trumpets for their sound and durability and I own a few from well known makers.
I recently picked up one of Anthony Ellis(AGE)Simple Hen Delrin trumpets and it is a gem. Has the same internals as his XT model. He keeps some in stock and I received mine in about a week. ~$200
Also, these guys have hit the nail on the head with mentions of Mero, Chadwick, and a trip to Unicoi!

go to Unicoi and meet AGE then
Doug Morgan makes a fine trumpet. They're very reasonably priced. Matter of fact, I've told him on more than one occasion that he ain't charging enough for em.
A couple that I don't believe have been mentioned in your price range would be Todd Black and Clay Townsend's all delrin call.
