I have the kit that JohnDavies shared above.
I added
o the case prep center
o powder measure stand
o case trimmer
o pocket swagger for .223/5.56
o Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Tumbler (a mistake, I should have bought tumbler with a solid lid for dust control).
o Two Universal hand primer tools. One configured for small primers and the other for large primers.
o Dies and shell holders for various calibers

I do not use the Hand Primer that came in the RCBS kit. I got tired of switching out shell holders and primer size inserts.
I also bought a trickler that I have never used.

Note on dies for .223/5.56. My Long Ranger sometimes jammed up on cases prepped with the standard .223/5.56 die. I replaced that die set with the "small base die set"

Found powder at Bass Pro but paid dearly for primers. I paid almost twice what they were listed for at places out of stock but what are ya gonna do? Live and learn, I'm late to the dance and paying the price.

So far it seems we are ready to start. Found another "blemished" single stage press so now we plan on running both for different calibers. Hope to run the first few tomorrow.
