Add a tumbler and a set of calipers and you have more than enough to get started.
After getting the basics down and having ~700rd under my belt I am starting to look into case trimmers and additional tools. I do think 45acp could be done a lot faster with the addition of a progressive, but the high pressure 10mm I am good with the single stage pace.

Splitting the difference between single stage and progressive, an Auto-indexing turret might fill your needs. You don't have to use the automatic powder drop if you want the measure each charge. Just remove the measure and put a funnel in its place.
I started with an RCBS Jr, but traded that for a RockChucker (just because the opportunity presented itself, not because the Jr was not enough press).
I got tired of only 50-60 rounds per hour and got a couple of progressives, but never got used to trying to monitor simultaneous operations. Dividing my attention made me nervous.
I finally got a Lee Classic Turret. It loads in continuous manner (like the progressives, instead of batch), but only does one operation at a time (which I prefer), yet gave up nothing in speed to my progressive presses (which were slow because of my caution and primer feeding problems).
Good luck
