I recommend getting the Lee Perfect powder meausure right off the bat. It will cut your loading time by 2/3 over weighing each charge. It's also a sinch to use with the handpress and the Lee Powder thru expanding die that is in the die set you are looking at. You just put the powder funnel in the die and leave it in there (it fits nicely) and squeeze the press to flare, then stick the whole thing under the powder measure and charge the case through the die. Open the press, remove the charged case and place it in a tray and repeat with the next case. I started out doing this with the handpress, with the Lee powder measure temporarily C-clamped to the dinner table while reloading. It works well.
Weighing each charge just takes forever.
You don't need the Unversal depiming tool, becuase your sizing die will depime when you size. Your press kit should come with a priming die, so you could do without the hand priming tool, but it's nice to have and worth the money.
The handpress is a good tool. I still use mine quite a lot. The other night I reloaded 50 .223 rounds with it in the living room while watching TV, rather than doing it on the bech press downstairs.
I see you don't have a loading tray on your list. You may want to get one of those or make one. They reduce the risk of knocking over or spilling charged cases. I use two trays and transfer the cases one at a time from one tray to the other during each step for safety. Not necesary probably, but I like doing it that way.
