RE: What else?
More things you will eventually need?
primer pocket uniformer,neck thickness micrometer,outside neck turning tool, rcbs precision mic., dial indicator setup for measuring the runout on cases and loaded cartridges, and at this point in my life- a goodmagnifying visor. I think I "need" Quickload next.
and ditto on the powder trickler, it used to come with the rcbs kit, and a cheap plastic caliper.
Other than dies that kit had every thing I needed for 20 years, until I realized I NEEDED all this other BS.

I'm almost afraid to open a Midway catalog anymore, and having a Cabela's less than 15 minutes away from home will make you "need" a lot more reloading paraphe nail ya.
It's a good thing I only own one working rifle.(for now)

Several manuals I have a hornady speer and lyman manuals and i saveevery artical in the mags that is for new powders that include pressure data and gun specs .
Lymans manual lists gobs of cast bullet infoand if shooting more for less is your goal then this will appeal to you . They also listseparate info for ruger revolvers contenders and the other "overbuilt" arms and many of the popular wildcats ..

I forgot I had the trickler and a few sets of calipers, mics and other measuring devices.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough initally but this thread was intended moreto find out what tools, besides the basics, have people found that really helps the reloading process.
Thanks to everyone that has responded.
