Press
Auto-Prime
11 Auto-Prime Shellholders
Chamfer tool
Primer pocket cleaner
2 oz case lube

Also what kind of dies do i want? I really only plan on using store bought brass at first.

6" vernier or digital caliper for measuring OAL of finished loads, as well as other dimensions on the cases.

Dies are a personal preference. I prefer Redding or RCBS, but they come without a shell holder. Rcbs has an unbeatable warranty, even if you manage so mess something up on your own. Don't ask how I know....
