Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the case trimmer was a not needed item at this time. In the last 30 yrs of reloading, I've never seen a .357 case that needed trimming and I shoot some pretty hot loads. Just put it away for now as you'll need it when you start reloading rifle bullets. "Cleaning is an option", I don't agree with that, but you can get by without cleaning for a time. Cabelas sells a tumbler kit for under $50. Get yourself one some day. For now just use the steel wool or sparingly some brass cleaner, shells don't have to shine but get the surface grit off. If you bought a new Lee press, it will have carbide pistol dies so lubing is not nessassry.
Sorry just realized you are using the Classic Loader. Forget what I said about lube. Unless they have started using carbide, you WILL have to lube your cases.
As someone else said, start out slow, start with Starter loads and work your way up. Have fun.
