- Tumbler
- Media (walnut for cleaning, corn for shining)
- Media separator and bucket
That's a beginners kit. You can get the Dillion which makes less of a mess, but it costs more.
- Trimmer
For 223, I use WFT since I process a few hundred at a time. For 308, which I shoot considerably less of, I use the cheapy Lee trimmer with the appropriate shell holder. Both chuck onto drills so you just hold the brass in place. I'd consider a Giraud (I am) if you plan to process a 500+ pieces of brass a month.
- Deburr and chamfer tools
Chuck it on a drill and it can ream too.
- Digital scale
Until you get a Chargemaster, this one works well. Get rid of the holder and put the brass directly onto the point of contact. Make sure to calibrate often.
- Swage
Dillion Super Swage 600, roughly $100, and I do it as part of my routine so everything gets swaged. Don't really need it per say, but I don't bother reaming if I can swage.

I like Lyman's 49th, but if you are shooting Hornady, get the Hornady manual.
