I have an LNL AP. This is the first time I will be loading rifle rounds. They will be for a precision AR. I will be tumbling in corn cob media. I will probably get a single stage press, and possibly a Thumbler Tumbler in the not-so-distant future, but my goal is to simply get started while I get the hang of things.

I have a Dillon Eliminator Power Balance, deburr tool, chamfer tool, primer pocket uniforming tool, primer pocket cleaning tool already.

Here is what I plan on getting, let me know if you have any suggestions:

1 x Foster Ultra 2-Die set (FL sizing, and a caliper seating die)
1 x Lee Factory Crimp Die
1 x L.E. Wilson Micrometer Case Trimmer (Stainless)
1 x L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer 223 Holder
1 x RCBS 1500 Chargemaster Powder Scale and Dispenser
1 x Redding #5 Powder Trickler
1 x Redding Power Funnel
1 x L.E Wilson Headspace Gauge
2 x 223 reloading Trays
5 x Hornady Sure-Loc Die Rings (I have a bunch of bushings for the LNL press)
1 x Hornady Quick Change Powder Die (I already have the rifle insert)
8 x MTM 100 round boxes
6 x MTM 50 round boxes

Here is a link to my wishlist on Midway that has all of these items www.midwayusa.com/wishList?referringListID=79057111

If you can think of anything big that I am missing, or if you think I am making a huge mistake with one of these items please let me know before I take the plunge. Thanks
