Welcome to TFL. I don't know anything about the lube you mention. I use Hornady One Shot. Off the top of my head I would say to get:
1...case trimmer
2...de-burring/chamfer tool
3...dial caliper (I don't trust anything digital)
4...shell holders for the press and priming tool
5...powder funnel
6...powder trickler
7...bullet puller

I'm sure someone else will think of something I missed. A tumbler is nice to have. Oh yeah, a log book for record keeping. Enjoy!

Tracker,
Militec lube is supposed to be good stuff but I just never got enthused about it. Still have a container on my workbench but mostly use one of the following oils: FP-10, WeaponShield, or Wilson UltimaLube. I don't use any grease lube on my guns.

ps: I think the OP was referring to rifle lubricant instead of case lube for reloading. Big Caliber's reference to Hornady One Shot is a case lube for reloading, not the same thing.
