So I just bought a single stage press on here. It also came with a powder measurer. But that's all I have at this point. I still have several things to buy. I bought this for my more precision calibers. For now I will be loading .223, .308, and 10mm.

I need advice on what scale to get there are several on the market and I have read the reviews but I would love to here your suggestions

I also need a case trimmer. Suggestions are welcome. Again I have researched and read but I prefer real world reviews and suggestions.

Also suggestions on other things I may be missing tumblers and media. I here stainless media is the way to go.

Loading info on .223 and .308 is every where but 10mm not so much so info on 10mm is needed as well

Thanks for your help
 
I like the Wilson trimmer with the micrometer. Very consistent as long as you're consistent with your pressure when turning the handle.

The RCBS 5-0-5 scale is very good and accurate. Get some check weights to check whatever you do end up with.

For case cleaning, look at the reloading sticky (number 1). He talks about using a sonic cleaner for precision rounds as the cleanliness of the interior of the case is more important than how shiny it comes out be. Also, the vibrations contribute to the cases hardening.
