so what do I need now?

Ain't that the truth. I'm a +1 on the bullet puller. Inevitably, you're going to make a mistake and need to unload some rounds the boring way. I recently got the RCBS puller die and inserts for .357 and .22 diameters. It is far and away superior to inertial pullers. For a single caliber, it will run you $25, and $9 more for additional calibers. I just wrote a post about it over here:

When I first started loading rifle ammo, I got myself a Lyman Case Gauge:

It's certainly superior to measuring to make sure cases haven't exceeded maximum length, however I soon found that it was more trouble than it was worth. After a few loadings, the cases will inevitably grow longer than are usable, and they need to be trimmed. My cases all get dumped back in the same bins after cleaning, and it gets a bit tedious to measure each one and then separate the ones that need trimming. Now I just trim all of them every time, which is much more efficient in the end, and makes more consistent ammo, to boot.
