All kits can get you started, but you may need to add a couple items.
You need:
Case cleaner....I like try tumblers....not absolutely required, but protects dies
Calipers.....Hornady makes a decent set...required, IMO
case mouth chamfer/deburr tools...required after you trim
case trimmer setup....I like the Wilson/Sinclair tool...required after
Press....MEC or RCBS Rockchucker are top choices....Lee can work
sizing lube...I like the Hornady tub lube with a pad
Die Set....I like Hornady, Forstner, Redding ....required
scale, dipper and trickler or a dispenser....I like Hornady Dispenser ....required
A runout tool like the RCBS Case Master is nice. There are other bits and pieces that make future gifts.
Reloading data from qualified source.
Reloading Method How To from a qualified source.
Reloading log book. Log every step. Document everything. Write down your load so you can tie load notes to completed boxes of ammo. (Basically, You might load 23.5gr of some powder and test at 40 deg, then it starts popping primers. you need to be able to recall that ammo!)
