I've been using the lee scale for 15 years. I'm on the second, the first bot bumped and broke the beam. Its only to 100 grains, but its fine if you don't go over. You won't need that for powder, but may for bullets if you loose track, or want to group them.
I've never cleaned a case in 15 years, and 50,000 rounds loaded, but if you feel you need to, go for it.
My best loads are crimped, but thats just me.
I pulled cartridge box inserts out of the trash at ranges. 45ACP will fit your rounds, and hold 50. Free and works well. I line 20 up and charge them in groups on the Lee perfect powder measure, which I assume your kit came with. That Lee has about 22,000 rounds loaded, and still never throws more than 1/20th of 1 grain off (H335)
https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-7832215-E-Zee-Case-Gauge/dp/B000N8N344 Get one of these, I also wore out some good calipers, on those 22,000 rounds mentioned above. I use a homemade no-go gauge now.
If you shoot in quantity, get a "worlds finest trimmer" or "Giraud tri-way"
Lanolin based case spray has worked extremely well.
Motor oil works as well.
Get a spent .22lr case, a pipe cutter and keep it nearby. When you stick a case, with lee dies, you take the nut off the top, and the decapper floats in the die. Put the .22 case on that, put the lock nut over the vice jaws, and you can hammer the stuck case out. This has never failed me, and its come up a lot (rifle case prep on a progressive). You can free the stuck decapper from the case with the pipe cutter. -Get a reeeeaaaallllyyy stuck case free from a Lee die in about 2 minutes. If you do peen the decapper pin, put it pin-in in a drill, and round it back with sand paper.
A vice, and a drill will help a lot.
Get a spare decapper rod. The can break, and they're cheap. i would recommend a universal decapping die rod as well.
You can still size with a broken decapper pin, and decap with the universal -it fits the die fine. It will be a decent backup
