I suppose in some sense not new to reloading. Many years ago I had an RCBS rockchucker with powder measure, scale, tumbler, carbide dies, and all the various accessories, and for awhile had a Star progressive machine to do .38 special in volume, but that was long time ago. None of the stuff is still around except some old reloading manuals.

I have decided to get back into reloading to cut costs and am about to order:

Lee hand press
Lee 4-die carbide dies in .38/357, 9mm, 40 S&W/10mm and 45 ACP (I may later want to reload 44 special, 45 Colt, .223 and 7x57 as well)
Lee Dipper set
RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool
Lyman Handbook
Lyman Turbo 1200 autoflow tumbler

Obviously I will need primers, powder and bullets, but otherwise, should I be looking at other options, or is there something I need to add?

I don't anticipate using maximum loads and am thinking I don't need a scale. Right? I seem to recall measuring OAL on .45 cases but can't remember if I used a case trimmer or not.

I want the hand press because I don't anticipate loading in huge volume and would like to be able to use it in different locations.

Thoughts? Thanks for any help.
