What am I missing

I just place an order with Midway and was wanting to know if I have everything needed to get started reloading.

looks like everything you need to start but I would get a Caliper to do OAL on your rounds .

Thanks Doc, I have one that I use occasionally for work so, other than components I should be good I guess. I was kicking myself for not asking before I placed the order.

Well...

I use that exact press....

I do my 45 acp priming on press using the safety prime primer system(548-630)

I occasionally need to clean primer pocket so I will use the Lee dbl ended cleaner(467-111)

I would suggest the Lee Autodisc pro powder measure(348-753) and the riser(114-080) needed to mount it on the expander/powder drop thru die. I get more than sufficient consistancy on powder drops for pistol ammo with it and it is a lot easier than measuring every drop and pouring through a funnel. (I check powder drop weight using scale periodically)

How you gonna clean your cases? (suggest Lyman for tumbler and the franklin rotary media seperator)

Powder? (suggest win 231)

Primers? (suggest cci Large Pistol)

Bullets? (I and my Kimber like 185 grain swc or jhp but if you're just starting out you would probably want to stick to 230 fmj)

whoops just saw you listed the Deluxe Kit instead of just the press. It already include the autodisk powder measure and the pocket cleaner but you will want to get the riser...

[Impax]

Thanks Jeremae, I'll look around here in town to see if I can find the riser.I wasn't sure on the hand primer, I haven't reloaded pistol and rifle ammo before so I wasn't sure if I needed it, but got it just in case. I've only reloaded shotgun shells and that was about 11 years ago and am excited to start doing this now. Thanks for all the help.

[Jeremae]

You only need the powder measure riser if you are using both the Safety Prime (on press primer) and the Autodisk Powder measure together...

I'd suggest a case gauge as well - to make sure your loaded rounds meet size specs.
