I helped a friend set up his bench with the Rock Chucker kit, It is a good starting set up. Add a dial caliper, (If you get a digital, buy spare batteries and hang in easy access). Lee case trimmer-with hex shaft shell holder base set up, to use drill or electric screwdriver for power.
I would also suggest a Hornady Cam Lock Bullet puller with proper collet for caliber.
Good thing to have if you need to remove bullets from loads for some reason. No damage to bullet or case.
Figure out what case cleaning system you want, and start dropping hints to relatives and friends for your birthday or next Christmas. The time will be here before you know.
Since the RCBS hand priming tool uses the same shell holder as the press, I suggest you buy 2 shell holders to match the case head. This saves a lot of time lost changing the shell holder back and forth from priming tool to press.
Use proven loads from reputable books, or bullet and powder maker data. Good Luck, Be Safe.
