Re: Want to start reloading....
Aside from the obvious (brass, powder, primers, bullets) I'd say the Versa Pak is an excellent start. However you will ultimately need a tumbler and media to clean the brass after it is fired. Another thing you'll want is a good set of digital calipers and possibly a micrometer. Possibly an Overall Length Gage and Bullet Comparator. The OAL helps you know how deep to seat the bullets and the comparator gives me (maybe not you) more consistent measurements. This is due to it measuring off of the Ogive of the bullet rather than the tip.
Things that I have/would upgrade but are not required:
-Good Digital Scale (faster)
-Powder funnel with a >< contour rather than a >= contour. I spilled a bit of powder trying to use the straight tube on smaller calibers with thinner necks (.223 vs .308).
-Fancy new cases for your fancy new handloads
-Priming tool. I've reloaded with plungers and I've reloaded with hand-held priming tools. I prefer hand-held as they are considerably faster.
-A smaller wallet. This gets addictive AND expensive.
-Case prep station similar to the one offered by RCBS. Case prep is my least favorable part of reloading from the primer pocket to the deburring, to the trimming, it all wears on me. The automatic stations make it a lot faster/smoother.
