Bigger than any order I've made in a long time.
I've always gotten a bigger kick out of keeping it skinny on the bench and seeing how much I could do with how little. Recently, it just about killed me to buy primer pocket uniformers because now I have another two itty, bitty tools to keep track of and another step to complicate matters. Probably should have replaced the brass.
The caliber choice is a versatile one, especially when you throw cast into the mix. I know - more tools.

You probably already have some or all of these things on hand, but I'll still mention a few ....
Kinetic Bullet Puller - check!
Caliper - check!
Electronic Scale (my preference accompanied by Lee dippers) - check!
Chamfer/Deburr tool (for the brass) - check!
.... and unlimited number of other "must have" gadgets. - check, check!
Again, I don't know whether or not you've considered it, but since you're going the Breech Lock direction you really need a Breech Lock bushing for every single die, already installed and set. That reduces the time needed for die changes to just a few seconds and almost eliminates the normal die adjustment needs in most cases. - that's something I was thinking about - I will see how things go, appreciate the tip!

UPDATE: 11.1.2019
The Midway box of goodness was waiting patiently for me on the doorstep yesterday afternoon. It was a pleasant surprise to discover, after a particularly trying day at work.
Managing a 5-year old with pronounced autism in a general education kindergarten classroom is a full-contact, all hands on deck sport! Phew. Yeah, I am a DI this year on "special assignment" in kindergarten. I am having fun though - it's been about 17 years since I taught in the Kinder age.
Back to the Midway shopping spree - LOL
So, this weekend if I am very lucky I may find time to assemble my press and try out the dies on a pile of .357 cases I've been meaning to finish. Going to get those pistol/carbine rounds done up before I get around to my .35 Rem cases. I've put off my oil change and tire rotation a week, so that is my only juggle I believe. Anyways I wanted to talk about something other than my special needs high maintenance student for a change - he is a daily challenge and it's been about 45 school days of adventure thus far, not that I'm counting the days or anything! 
be well
Adam
