Hi all, I only shoot 9mm and .223/5.56 but currently at less than 500 rounds/yr combined. My goal is to load around 100 rounds a month for my SPR'ish AR so nothing outrageous. I figure the initial cost of equipment will be recouped in no time since match ammo is ~$1/rd. I do want to reload 9mm later this year but I still have a case or two of factory stuff so it's not a priority. The only hands on experience I have with reloading was at a department of conservation reloading class (9mm) and think I have a decent understanding of loading straight wall pistol ammo since it's fairly straightforward. Rifle is a different story. I've got the following things that I've bought throughout the years:

Cabela's media tumbler with a few k of 9mm and .223 brass saved over the years
Cheap 6" digital micrometer
Frankford Arsenal scale (http://www.amazon.com/Frankford-205205-Arsenal-Reloading-Scale/dp/B002BDOHNA)
MTM ammo loading tray
Sinclair hand priming tool
Can of Hornady One Shot case lube
Hornady OAL gauge, curved w/ 223 modified case
Sinclair comparator w/ .22 insert
I do have rifle primers and 69gr SMK and will pick up some powder locally

Will the LCT fit my needs? Which dies? What else should I look at purchasing (especially for brass prep)?

Yes, Redding, and a trimmer. I like the little crow.
