Spud, as I neck size and deprime in the same operation I always clean the cases first so the neck is clean and I do not grind carbon into the sizing bush or neck. These days I never tumble anything so I use a worn out kitchen scourer to clean the neck then PB brush the inside (with a cordless drill) Then neck size with a TiNi bush and a tiny wipe of Imperial.
Then uniform the pocket.

K Spinners.
M die spuds and H&I dies in 1 thou increments from 0.200" to 0.600".
A Baby Belling hot plate oven.
RCBS to reintroduce their Ammomaster progressive press so I can have a second one.
A case prep slave, although I do like the look of the new Lyman station too.
Re-introduction of the Bonanza case trimmer.
Re-introduction of the Bonanza duo measure.
Forster to make their co-ax press case jaws big enough for 0.577" Snider cases.

Hot plate for pre heating moulds, oven for heat treating boolits.

Spud wrote "a little tool for cleaning the media from a tumbler out off the primer pocket flash hole" I find that a matchstick works well enough.
Re: Reloading - what are you missing/what do you need?
Try a dubbing needle for removing stuck media.
It's used in fly tying. Only a couple of quid

Re: Reloading - what are you missing/what do you need?
I used to make my own with handles made out of old end sections of split cane rods. Come to think of it I had more fun making things like that and fly tying than catching the fish....

Another SHED item in the pipeline...
Make it shiny
Obviously need them in small and large pocket sizes as well
(My old man made his tools when he got the watch repairing bug after he was demobbed. Made a lot of tools, took a few watches apart. Don't think he got round to putting any together again, though.)

Re: Reloading - what are you missing/what do you need?
I made lots of tools for fly tying and got as far as modifying my vice but not building one from scratch.
Re: Reloading - what are you missing/what do you need?
Nothing I have every thing I need to make any caliber of full bore ammo for any gun I shoot.
I have every thing I need to cast resize and re load for any caliber of gun I shoot.
Its taken me years to get it all to gether I have wasted a lot of money along the way trying to do it on the cheap etc.(Lee is pap)
But I finally seen the light and invested in the best kit I could afford and now I can crank out any round I want with ease.
A quality single station press is the way to go.
