So,it's pretty overwhelming all the new reloading kits out there now. I've been looking at the RCBS Partner kit.MAYBE the rockchucker. I'm primarily reloading .223 & 22-250.
Regardless of the kits brand. What else would be a good investment to go with the kits? Tools,dies,etc. Is there a list anywhere? Just want a good start off and don't want to spend a crap ton of money right now.

BEFORE you purchase a press or other things, get 2 good reloading manuals and read them .... TWICE. From cover to cover. You'll save time, money, and perhaps some health. Then come back and ask more questions to narrow down your options and choices.

I have a little while before I start reloading. I don't even have a bench to do it on yet. So,using the time to gather information and materials.
 
Don't buy new... There's lots of older presses sitting around unused in people's garages. Talk to friends neighbors coworkers, local gunsmiths, and drinking buddies. They may or may not look good, but it's almost impossible to damage or ruin one.
