Am I missing anything?

[Czarface]

Hey everybody! I'm wondering if I'm missing anything important to my loading kit...

I have...
Press and Dies, scale, case prep station, tumbler, calliper, case trimmer, case lube and degreaser... Bullets and powder and primers are on its way...

I'm loading 9-40 and 223, is a bullet puller a must have and am I missing anything? Thanks Jim

Primer pocket cleaner.

Primer pocket cleaner.

That's probably on the case prep station.

Bullet puller is nice to have for sure. That's a must have IMO.

Got a manual?

Puller can come in handy - 'specially for a new reloader, but shouldn't really be necessary.
A seperate hand primer is nice too - I often prime cases while watching tv.
Just stay away from the potato chips while doing so.
A couple different reloading manuals is a good idea - most powder companies have lots of load data online

You will def need a powder funnel. And a loading block for the 223.

I have one manual and plan on buying more!

This one is free along with a few other online loading sites.. w ww.ammoguide.com/ will come in handy as well as some Youtube videos to help with setting up your press etc.

except that you have to pay to see the reloading data...

a free account is good for cartridge diagrams and such though.

The Hodgdon website has lots of reloading data and it's free.

Powder measure.

Indeed. If you plan on weighing every charge, you will take forever to make any quantity. I don't have one of them new fangled electronic measures, so for safety sake I used to measure every 21st charge, but my old RCBS thrower is so good, I bumped that to about every 60th.

Remember though, different powders throw differently depending on granule shape.
