I also use a case trimmer, primer pocket brush and reamer. I lightly lubricate my brass with either a case lube pad and case lube or Mica powder and applicator brush but I find this is not mandatory for straight wall handgun brass. You should also get a case tumbler to clean brass with walnut media and a basic but good set of Allen wrenches and screwdrivers. One more thing, a bullet puller for those occasions when nothing goes right like when the primer flips upside down. I use the one that looks like a hammer and it gets a fair amount of use.
Have fun.
