If you're loading for a bolt action, get a full length sizing die, a lee collet neck sizing die, seater, and a really like the lee factory crimp die on my bullets.
Some other useful stuff:
A few crescent wrenches
a small container (I use an individual serving size yogart container)
a spoon (helpful for measuring powder)
hammer
Lee trim pilot and mount
Lyman debur tool
A small drill to run the trimming tool
misc small boxes to put brass in
I like the lyman powder funnel
loading block to hold your cases
collet type bullet puller
case lube of some kind (I'm cheap and use used motor oil on a lube pad, and clean with paper towel and alcohol after)
Very strong paper towel (The blue 'shop towel' ones are really good)
Alcohol is always handy
Some cases are best having the neck brushed out before resizing, so in your case a 22 caliber cleaning brush and handle.
on 22-250, I just use the lee dipper to measure the powder, and a scrap business card to strike it level Works for me. Can buy the whole set of dippers. Found that more repeatable with stick type powders than a powder thrower.
Being a 22-250, I haven't found very many of them that don't like IMR 3031, and your barrel is likely a 1:10 or 1:12 twist, so no bullets heavier than 55 gr in lead, and no heavier than barnes Varmint Grenade 36 gr. WSS had a sale on on bullets from hornady and nosler when I was in there yesterday.
Have fun.
