Any things to look for, steer clear of, get in addition?

I am starting from scratch so I need everything to at least start loading 9mm.

I got the $30 Frankford tumbler from Midway, works fine and if it blows up I'll just get another. As for media, just go to Petsmart, Petco, etc and get crushed walnut used for bedding material in reptile cages, will work the same and is much cheaper. I use Lee dies for all my loading and they are cheaper than the Dillon dies and work great. The Lee Facory Crimp die is a must have as far as I'm concerned and by using it you can pretty much assure you wont need that case gauge.

Do the Lee dies fit in the Dillon press?

I use rice for media, if your reloading pistol round only you don't need case lube. You can make your own case lube with 50/50 liguid lanolin and 100% alochol.

You're going to have a nice set up. You have a few things that may not be absolutely necessary, but you're gonna enjoy having them.

While we're spending your money how about one of those fancy brushes for cleaning the primer pockets?

Yes, they fit just fine. You will need to get the 1" lock rings though. I think they are about $3 for a 5 pack. Brian Enos carries the lock rings too.
