	Add a powder tricker, powder funnel, inside/outside case chamfer 
	tool, Dillon (or new size RCBS) primer flip tray, extre primer
	tubes.

	The electronic scales are great but if you won't be working up
	loads often a simpler one will suffice and be much cheaper. I 
	use an RCBS 10-10.

	I like the Wilson case trimmer.

	If you want to de-cap and then clean your brass you'll also
	want an extra too head with just a decap die installed. That
	way you don't have to take the brass out manually and can cycle
	it around. If you make the decap die a sizing/decap die and get
	a toolhead setup for each calibre then you can trim your brass
	after cleaning it without having to add another  step.

	You might want to get extra powder charge bars so you can
	swap charge bars without having to reset them each time (although
	the mic is handy for this).

	I'd also suggest the dillon spare parts kit. (I haven't needed it
	yet, but I don't want to have hungry carpet hang me for a match).

	For those intereated in starting, one doesn't *have* to have all
	of this to get started or to be successful, but he looked like
	he was ready do drop the bucks..................
