We all have different lists, though.

Not to pick on larzb93, but just to use your post as an example.

A good list. But I would get a .001" caliper before the powder dispenser. If you have a scale, you can do without a dispenser (use a spoon if you must). You can make a funnel out of a piece of heavy paper. You can do without a tumbler (I did for 30 years, just wiping my brass clean with a towel).

That's why kits are (in my opinion) not such a good deal. No one has the same equipment priorities as anyone else.

So, read up, think hard and choose your own path.

Just don't forget: Safety always, safety all ways.
