Do i need a tumbler?
Reamers and deburrs?
Better still is there a "shopping check list" i can copy as a basic start up pack?
Cheers
I bought the same kit, but I don't like the press-mounted priming system.
I would recommend the kit that includes the hand-primer instead.
And the Lee Ultimate .223 Collet Neck Die set.
Get the .223 Lee Quick-Trim die as well.
You will want a dial or digital caliper for checking case length.
The kit comes with a pocket cleaner and chamfer tool. But if you get one of the better ones you can put it in the drill press to really speed up chamfering the mouth and pocket.
An impact hammer is useful for when you seat a bullet too deep, just tap it back out a little and re-seat it correctly.
I love the scale pan/funnel combo but they don't really work on beam scales.
The Lyman Bleacher Loading blocks are excellent, and cheap. You can stack them up and work down from the top when loading large batches but keeping a small footprint on your desk.
