[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 376388, member: 19372"] To what you have, for getting started, I'd add: 1) A case length trimmer. Wilson if you want the best. 2) Case deburring tool 3) A vibrating cleaner and some sort of seperator for cleaning cases. Dillon makes a really good quality vibrating case cleaner and rotary seperator. The smaller size each is all you need. 4) Set of electronic calipers. 5) 0-1" micrometer. 6) A bullet makers reloading manual from every bullet vendor whose bullets you are using. 7) A good balance beam scale. 8) Set of scale check weights. There is lots of other stuff, but if you add those 8 items you can reload a heck of a lot of good ammunition. Micrometer adjusting and bushing dies aren't needed to get started, or maybe ever, if all you reload is AR plinking ammo and ammo for hunting at PBR distances. If you get into shooting beyond 300 yards you will start to look at making more precisely reloaded ammunition. If and when you get to that stage you will "know" what other things you need.
