Trying to get into reloading, but I only need 9mm and. 223 right now. I plan on expanding when we settle in a place.

Whats the absolute bare minimum I need to reload these two calibers?

List of tooling and components and brand suggestions please(and/or any links to stuff you've seen for sale here ;)).

Thanks bros. Stay outdoors.
 
Case trimmer and tumbler? I have/produce a holy crap ton of spent brass... thats why i need to start rollin me some.

You don't need to trim 9mm. The "World's Cheapest Trimmer" is the best deal out there for case specific trimmers. Super fast, VERY consistent, cheap. Set it and start trimming. I love mine
 
Bare minimum, AND mobile... Lee Loaders are the minimum. No bench mounted press is mobile. The Lee hand press can get it done and is mobile
I guess by "mobile" I meant I wasn't ready to build a dedicated 3'x6' bench with drawers and cabinets yet. Thats coming soon. I just want something I can unbolt and throw in a box when the time comes. So if there is a contained modular unit id prefer that.

But thank btw!

Mainly need .223 right now.
 
Harbor Freight 5lb tumbler for case cleaning?

Big enough to do 50 or so at a time?

Media suggestions?
