What I need to complete my kit?

[Buster95]

I just bought a Redding Big Boss Single Stage Press Pro-Pak Kit, included with the kit are:

1-The press
2-Model 2 powder scale
3-Powder trickler
4-Lube pad and 2 oz of case lube
5-Deburring tool
6-Model 18 case preparation kit
7-Powder funnel

I know I need a case trimmer but which one? A scale weight check sets? What else?

I have some experience in reloading, I have reloaded .223 and .357 magnum in the past but long time ago (1980's).

You need one trimmer for each caliber?

You can get them for a specific caliber. Or if you like get the housing with interchangeable caliber sizes. Worlds finest trimmer 2 at Brownels.

It's a slightly better deal that way.. I only shoot 223 so I have the original

You also need a set of calipers, loading block, and dies.

Cantire has acceptable calipers in the $20-$40 range.

MTM loading block is $5-$10, or make your own with a 2x4 and a drill.

I already have a couple of calipers, I know I need dies off course, loading block yes I need one. I will check Brownells for the trimmer. Thanks for the replies.

I have a 2 or 3 loading books, primer flipper is another good thing to buy, the puller too.

I have bought this kit because I have a deposit of $300 for a gun I have cancelled, I used the money to buy this kit, I hope it's a good kit.

Ho yes, the kit was on sale at $347, not too bad I think.

If you end up reloading crimped primer brass you need something for the primer pockets. If you never find or use military brass you don't need to worry about it.

Redding Big Boss is a good press and should make you happy.

You don't need a tumbler right away, you'll want one eventually but it's not a priority. OTOH a bullet puller is something you will want from the start.
